You Get Yearly Checkups – But What About Imaging? When It Makes Sense to Get a CT Scan

When a CT Scan Is Beneficial

A CT scan (computed tomography) uses X-ray technology and computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images of your body. It’s versatile, fast, and remarkably clear. From tumors to infections to fractures, CT scans provide precise locations and dimensions, helping providers decide the best course of care.



In other words, a CT scan is ideal for any adult who’s serious about staying ahead of potential health issues–especially if you’re the kind of person who’d rather catch something early than be caught off-guard later.

Why Wait for Symptoms?

A cough, chest pain, or sudden shortness of breath might finally send you to the doctor. But by that point, you’re no longer ahead of the issue. A preventative CT scan offers something powerful: the chance to intervene before your body throws up red flags. Life Guard Imaging provides full-body CT imaging for healthy people who want to stay that way.

• You don’tneed to be in pain.

You don’t need to wait for your doctor to raise the idea. If you’re over 40, have a family history of heart disease or cancer, or just want more certainty about your health, an elective preventive CT scan can offer reassurance or an early alert—before trouble starts.
