Preventive Medicine
Do you have a family history of heart disease or cancer? Are you one of the 25 million Americans living with a chronic disease without knowing it? Don't you deserve to have confidence in your health?
New technological advancements allow physicians to detect disease in it's earliest stages. At EliteHealth, we practice a different kind of medicine: Preventive Medicine. We are constantly researching, testing and installing the latest diagnostic testing equipment so that our members can live a longer and healthier life.
Here are some of the most common preventive tests that we offer:
Heart Scan (Calcium Score)
Calcium Score Testing is crucial for early detection of heart disease and its severity. The coronary arteries supply blood to the heart. Normally, the coronary arteries do not contain calcium. Calcium in the coronary arteries is a sign of coronary artery disease (CAD).

Nuclear Stress Test (Thallium)
A nuclear stress test measures blood flow to your heart muscle at rest and during stress. It is performed similar to a routine exercise stress test but provides images in addition to electrocardiograms. A radioactive substance is injected into your bloodstream that mixes with your blood and travels to your heart. A special scanner that detects the radioactive material in your heart creates images of your heart muscle.

Carotid IMT (CIMT)
CIMT stands for Carotid Intima Media Thickness and CIMT testing detects the presence or absence of atherosclerotic disease. The test is also commonly known as Vascular Age Testing. This is a safe, painless and noninvasive test, performed with a high-resolution ultrasound transducer. The sonographer measures the combined thicknesses of the intimal and medial layers of the carotid artery walls within twenty minutes.

Colonoscopy & Virtual Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy provides an inside look at your large intestine. The test is performed with a flexible tube that has a camera on it, so it can take pictures of the inside of your colon and rectum. It also has the ability to snip off polyps and tissue samples. A virtual colonoscopy utlizes a CAT Scanner to take multiple images of the intestinal tract.

Body Scan
Body scans, also known as CAT (Computerized Axial Tomography) scans, are x-ray slices of different parts of the body which allow us to look at each cross section for abnormalities. The body scan, performed in a matter of minutes, screens for the presence of heart disease, certain cancers, as well as other abnormalities.

Pulmonary Function Test
Pulmonary Function Testing has been a major factor in assessing the functional status of the lungs as it measures how well lungs take in and release air and move oxygen into the blood. This testing is conducted to diagnose certain types of lung disease such as asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema, or to find the cause of shortness of breath. During the test, the patient places a clip over the nose and breathes through the mouth into a tube connected to a machine known as a spirometer to help the doctor measure the lung function.

Electrocardiogram (EKG)
The electrocardiogram is a diagnostic tool that measures and records the electrical activity of the heart in delicate detail. Interpretation of these details allows diagnosis of a wide range of heart conditions. These conditions can vary from minor to life threatening. It is important to be relaxed and relatively warm during the test as any movement, including muscle tremors such as shivering, can alter the results.

Abdominal Aortic Ultrasound
An abdominal aortic ultrasound test is a very useful screening procedure that measures the abdominal aorta, a major artery in your abdomen. It is a non-invasive, painless test that uses high-frequency sound waves to image the "aorta," the main blood vessel leading away from the heart. The test is conducted while you lay on an exam table.

Mammogram (women)
A mammogram is an x-ray of the breast. Mammograms can be used to check for breast cancer in women who have no signs or symptoms of the disease. Mammograms are quick and easy and can help save your life.

Bone Density Test (women)
A bone density test, also called densitometry can determine if you have osteoporosis or if you are at risk of osteoporosis before you break any bones. A bone density test uses special X-rays to measure how many grams of calcium and other bone minerals are packed into a segment of bone.

Prostate Exam (men)
A prostate or a rectal examination is an internal examination of the rectum by a physician or other healthcare professional. During a prostate exam, the doctor will feel the prostate with gloved, lubricated fingers. A normal prostate usually feels firm. The doctor will check for hard spots, bumps or any other abnormalities on the prostate.

Chest X-Ray
Heart scans use x-rays to do detailed images of internal body structures and in this case the arteries of your heart. In addition it can look at the heart itself to see if there are any abnormalities of the muscle, the valves or the outer lining of the heart. It is a noninvasive approach that may save lives.
