Life Imaging saved my life
‘In January, I went for a free CT scan and I had two stents put in my heart. The cardiologist said that within 6-9 months I would have had a stroke, died, or had a silent heart attack. Life Imaging saved my life’
A Free Scan is a No-Brainer
‘The conventional approach to medicine has it all backwards. They wait to diagnose and manage a disease after it’s developed. Life Imaging offers you an opportunity to look directly inside the body.’
They Found a Cancerous Tumor
‘I went for a scan because my mom had died of a heart attack at the end of May. I’m in perfect health, no symptoms of anything, 58 years old, non-smoker, healthy, no medication. Well, they found a cancerous tumor in my left-upper lobe of my lung. I’m told that I caught it so early that I’m going to be totally fine. Everyone is saying, including the doctor, that getting the scan saved my life.’
Abdomen and Pelvis Screening FAQs
Life Imaging’s abdomen and pelvis screening is a preventive imaging exam designed to evaluate organs and structures in the abdominal and pelvic regions. It is intended to identify unexpected findings early, often before symptoms appear, and to produce a results report you can share with your physician. The goal is proactive insight that supports clinical decisions, follow-up planning, and baseline tracking over time.
An abdomen and pelvis screening generally evaluates key organs and structures in the abdominal and pelvic regions, which may include areas such as the liver, kidneys, pancreas, bladder, and surrounding tissues. The exact areas covered depend on the screening protocol. If you want to confirm what is included in your exam, verify the scan coverage during scheduling so expectations are clear.
Preventive abdomen and pelvis screening may be appropriate if you want a baseline assessment or you prioritize early awareness due to age, family history, or health concerns. It can also appeal to people who want additional clarity beyond routine labs. Screening is most useful when results are shared with your physician and used to guide a thoughtful next step, rather than being viewed in isolation.
No. Preventive screening is not designed to diagnose urgent or severe symptoms. If you have intense abdominal pain, fever, vomiting, blood in stool or urine, severe pelvic pain, or sudden symptoms, seek prompt medical evaluation. Screening is intended for people who feel well or have stable health concerns and want proactive insight, not emergency answers.
Preparation depends on the protocol, but most patients follow simple scheduling instructions related to timing, hydration, or other pre-scan steps. The best way to support accurate interpretation is to follow prep instructions carefully and share relevant medical history. If you have prior imaging, procedures, or ongoing care, keep that information available for your physician’s review.
An abnormal finding means the scan detected something that should be reviewed, not that a diagnosis has been confirmed. Many findings are benign or non-urgent, but they still may require follow-up. The next step is typically to share the report with your physician, who can recommend additional imaging, lab work, monitoring, or a specialist referral based on the specific finding.
You receive a written results report that can be kept for your records and shared with your primary care provider. If results are normal, many patients keep them as a baseline for future comparison. If findings are noted, the most useful next step is physician review so follow-up decisions are based on your full medical context rather than the scan alone.
No. This screening can complement preventive care, but it does not replace routine checkups, lab work, or physician-recommended screening schedules. The strongest approach is combining imaging results with clinical evaluation when appropriate. Use the report as an additional tool to support prevention planning with your physician.
