DPI LIFESCAN SAVING LIVES

Heart disease and cancer are the leading causes of death in America. These life-threatening conditions can develop and progress inside your body without detection.

You may exercise. You may eat right. You may try to take good care of yourself. You may even get regular check-ups. But that doesn’t mean you’re not at risk. If your doctor has no reason to suspect that something is wrong, it is unlikely the condition will be discovered through routine check-ups.

That’s why DPI LifeScan is so important. It gives you a clear picture of your current condition or it can assess your risk for developing serious health problems in the future.

DPI LifeScan uses Computed Tomography (CT) to perform a comprehensive, body scan that safely delivers vital health information. This extremely sensitive imaging technology scans brain, chest, abdomen and pelvis, producing a clear picture of what’s really going on beneath the surface. By capturing thin-slice body images, LifeScan can generate a 3-D image revealing any abnormalities in your body.

The LifeScan: CT of Brain, Chest, Abdomen and Pelvis is recommended for:

• Current and former smokers
• Those who have a family history of cancer or heart disease
• Anyone who has been diagnosed with high cholesterol
• Anyone with borderline/high blood pressure
• Anyone at risk for coronary artery disease
• Anyone who “just wants to know” if all is OK

The following factors can greatly increase your risk for a stroke, heart attack, cancer or other life-threatening disease.
These include:

• Aging
• Stress
• Poor dietary choices
• Lack of exercise
