Early detection and regular screenings are crucial, alongside leading a healthy lifestyle with balanced nutrition and regular exercise.

This month highlights awareness of Alzheimer's and other diseases that affect the brain. More than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's, and that statistic is expected to rise to 13 million by 2050. Moreover, only 40% of Americans will talk to their doctor when they experience memory and cognitive loss. While this disease is not reversible, medical imaging like MRI is a powerful tool in early detection and diagnosis.

When attached to an organ, the soft, tiny sticker changes in shape in response to the body’s changing pH levels, which can serve as an early warning sign for post-surgery complications.

According to the National Institute of Health, roughly 12% of the population experience some level of claustrophobia, which is a fear of tight and enclosed spaces. While avoiding certain activities may not come with any consequences, avoiding necessary medical procedures is a different story. If your doctor has recommended a CT scan, it's for a good reason, and shouldn't be avoided. There are, however, ways to manage your claustrophobia during your scan. First and foremost, let your technician know and they can provide helpful methods to keep you calm during your scan.

Yes, CT scans use ionizing radiation to create cross-sectional (slices) pictures inside selected areas of the body from different angles. The dose is minor, and the benefits far outweigh the risks when a CT scan is recommended by your doctor.
