DISEASE SCREENINGS

WHY ARE MRIs IMPORTANT FOR DISEASE SCREENINGS?

MRIs are an excellent way to screen for and diagnose diseases. At HROSM, we believe that early detection and diagnosis is key. There are many benefits to using our Canon Vantage Galan 3T MRI for cancer and disease screenings, including:

High Resolution And Contrast

Our Canon Vantage Galan 3T MRI system offer ssuperior image quality compared to X-rays or CT scans. This high resolution MRI makes it easier to see any abnormalities, which helps to identify diseases at their earliest stages.

Systems such as the Canon Vantage Galan 3T MRI are non-invasive and do not use ionizing radiation, which makes them a safer screening option, especially if patients need multiple MRIs.

MRIs are instrumental in the early detection of diseases, especially cancers. Early detection with our Canon Vantage Galan 3T MRI often leads to both better prognosis and better treatment outcomes.

THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY DISEASE DETECTION

Disease screenings can help detect diseases when they are in their early stages. When it comes to treatment, early detection is especially important for patients, as it can help prevent worsening symptoms down the road and lead to overall better health and well-being. Early disease detection has many benefits, including:

Improved Prognosis

Many diseases are more treatable when diagnosed early. If the disease is caught early, before it can progress to a later stage, treatment is more likely to be successful.

Early detection can lead to less aggressive treatments, which are often more affordable. Catching a disease early may prevent the need for extensive surgeries, prolonged hospital stays or more complex treatments.

Detecting diseases early often results in a better quality of life for patients. It allows us to minimize symptoms and complications that can happen from an untreated disease or condition.

CANCER SCREENINGS

At Hampton Roads Orthopaedics Spine & Sports Medicine, we are proud to also offer cancer screenings with our innovative Canon Vantage Galan 3T MRI system. This machine captures clear images with great detail and extreme accuracy in an environment that is patient friendly.

At the forefront of our mission is patient care, which is why we are pleased to bring you full body MRI scans that have patient comfort in mind. The system features a comfortable design, allowing people of all shapes and sizes, including those who may experience claustrophobia, to fit into the machine with ease.

UNPARALLELED PATIENT SAFETY AND COMFORT

Patient safety is a top priority for us at HROSM. The FDA-approved machine features a patient call system that allows for the individual to signal if an emergency arises during a scan for cancer and disease screenings. This allows the patient and operator to communicate clearly with one another. There is even a camera for the operator to visualize the patient clearly, ensuring their safety. The Canon Vantage Galan 3T machine is transforming the MRI experience into one that is convenient, comfortable and safe for cancer screenings.

WHY MRIs ARE A VALUABLE TOOL IN CANCER SCREENINGS

MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, is used to detect health conditions, including cancer. The machine is able to use body imaging to locate tumors that may be cancerous or benign. When you opt for a full body scan, the MRI machine will capture detailed images of your body’s organs and tissues. The Canon Vantage Galan 3T MRI system also has the ability to look for signs that a cancer is in its original area or if it has spread.

As a result, your physician is able to stage cancer and strategize a plan for treatment, such as surgery, radiation or chemotherapy. This has become an invaluable tool in the fight against cancer—one that HROSM is proud to offer to our community.

EARLY CANCER DETECTION IS VITAL

In one way, shape or form, cancer has touched every one of us. Whether it’s affected a friend, family member or you’ve experienced it firsthand, cancer doesn’t discriminate—but the earlier your doctor is able to catch it, the better chance for successful treatment. Performing a cancer screening and diagnosing it at an early stage is critical before it becomes enlarged or spreads.

In fact, the American Cancer Society says cancer screenings also help prevent thousands of cancer deaths with the ability to detect cancer before your symptoms even occur. At Hampton Roads Orthopaedics Spine & Sports Medicine, we are here to give you peace of mind with cancer screenings and full body MRI scans that are proven to deliver accurate results!
