Life Scans
“ECG” Life Scans helps to give you peace of mind by reviewing your physical condition as well as your lifestyle to help ensure your continued health and well-being.

With a clear and detailed picture of your health, “ECG” Life Scans enables you to take full control of your health for the future.

We offer a wide range of Life Scans and while each one caters for different needs, all are provided on the principle that early detection of illness can mean easier management of the problem and more successful treatment.

All the Life Scans include:

• a medical history and lifestyle questionnaire
• a physical examination
• a consultation with a doctor (or nurse)
• the opportunity to ask questions and discuss concerns
• an action plan with practical advice to help minimize health risks

Five diseases cause more than two-thirds of all deaths annually – heart disease, cancer, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (bronchitis, emphysema) and diabetes. Even the first symptoms can often be dangerous and conditions can go undetected for a long time, for example:

> 30% don’t survive their first heart attack

> 15%-30% remain permanently disabled after a stroke

> 93% die of lung cancer within 5 years

> 500,000 to 1 million people in the UK have diabetes but are unaware of it

Prevention is powerful medicine

Most health-care systems of today are effectively sick care systems where meaningful care often only begins once an individual is symptomatic, often with conditions that could have been prevented. Prevention can help identify risk factors and pick up abnormalities early, leading to enhanced outcomes.

Your inner world matters

A lot of disease, alongside genetic, behavioral and environmental factors, is caused by chronic stress, conflict and ensuing physical stresses (high cortisol, muscular aches, digestive problems…) and eventually more severe disease. This is why we emphasize the need for an integral perspective.

Life is about evolution, not just survival

Therefore, we bring you tools and assistance to evolve your health and well being.

	COMPREHENSIVE LIFESCAN

This CT health check is a combination of several specific scans which together enable us to view your major vital organs, this service has been one of the most popular choices with people looking to gain peace of mind about serious illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, lung cancer, osteoporosis and aortic aneurysms.

Comprehensive Life Scan Includes:

Heart Scan (64-slice CT heart scan) provides detailed information about the condition of your coronary arteries and can indicate more precisely your risk of a heart attack or stroke. The scan is looking for calcium build up in the arteries, which indicates the very early stages of heart and vascular disease ­ long before any symptoms are present. The more calcium (plaque) there is the greater your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. However, if calcium is detected early, modern treatments and lifestyle changes can make all the difference and help you avoid future heart attack and stroke.

Lung Scan (64-slice CT heart scan) a low dose CT scan of your lungs, which will capture hundreds of detailed images, which will be reviewed by a Consultant Radiologist who will check and report on any evidence of changes visible in the lungs. Our lung scans are six times more accurate than a traditional x-ray in detecting the early signs of lung cancer. It is the ability to highlight nodules the size of pea that makes the difference when treating lung disease.

Abdomen Scan (64-slice CT heart scan) this scan is available with the Lifescan Check to include visualization of the abdominal organs and the aorta to exclude the possibility of aortic aneurysms, kidney stones or kidney cancer. Please note this scan does not include any visualization of the colon (large bowel).

Bone mineral Density Scan – this scan is aimed at looking for any deterioration in the density of your bones, which could indicate the early signs of osteoporosis. If detected at an early stage (osteopenia), changes in lifestyle and/or specially designed drugs can help to prevent further progression of this debilitating illness.

	VIRTUAL COLONOSCOPY SCAN

Virtual Colonoscopy Scan Includes:

Virtual Colonoscopy (64-slice CT Scan) for many years the only way of looking at the colon (large bowel) was to undergo a surgical procedure known as a colonoscopy. With the advances in CT scanning technology it has now become possible to gain all the images previously achieved from a colonoscopy but without the need for sedation or the use of an optical surgical scope (camera). The virtual colonoscopy captures hundreds of exceptionally detailed images from outside the body. The images build up a complete picture of the colon, which enables the Consultant Radiologist to undertake a ´fly through´ of the entire colon allowing for visualization of any small polyps or changes in the bowel such as diverticular disease.

The other key advantage of the virtual colonoscopy is the ability to gain images of the other abdominal organs such as the liver, kidneys, pancreas, gallbladder and spleen. In recent studies it is this additional information, which has proved successful in the detection of other diseases and abnormalities, in particular kidney cancer.
