Heart & Lung Scans
Why Choose FRPI?
Heart disease is the leading killer of
Americans and with early detection can be effectively
treated. CT screening for lung cancer in a recent study
increased the long term survival to 82%. This is
remarkable as the survival is usually less than 10% when
diagnosed with Chest X-rays.
"Early detection can save lives!"
CT screening can find lung cancer as small as 2 mm in
size. Lung cancer does not show up on chest X-ray
until it is over 10 times the size is can be seen on CT. The
sooner we find lung cancer the better the cure rate.
Stage 1 lung cancers smaller than 15 mm in size were found
to be curable over 90% of the time.
