Yes—depending on your risk factors.

While smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer, it’s not the only one. Long-term exposure to secondhand smoke, radon, environmental pollutants, family history, or certain occupational hazards can also increase risk.
A low-dose Lung CT scan is a quick, noninvasive screening that can detect lung cancer at earlier, more treatable stages. If you have risk factors or concerns, a conversation with your doctor can help determine whether screening is right for you.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., and many people don't know they're at risk until symptoms appear.

A cardiac CT scan, including a calcium score test, can help detect plaque buildup in the coronary arteries early—often before you feel anything at all. This quick, noninvasive scan gives valuable insight into your heart health and can help guide next steps with your doctor.
This American Heart Month, take a proactive approach to protecting your heart. Early awareness can make all the difference.

We know the name can be off-putting, but nuclear medicine scans are safe, routine, and highly informative tools that help doctors see how your organs are working, not just how they look.

Here’s what to know:
- They use a very small amount of radioactive tracer, often less radiation than a CT scan.
- The tracer leaves your body naturally within hours to days.
- The scans are painless, noninvasive, and commonly used for the bones, thyroid, heart, and more.

These scans give doctors valuable insights and help detect conditions early.

✔️ Even if you feel healthy and have no symptoms, yearly screening is still important

A Coronary Calcium Score scan is a quick, noninvasive CT scan that measures calcium buildup in your heart’s arteries — one of the earliest signs of heart disease.

Even if you feel fine, plaque can silently build up over time, increasing your risk for a heart attack or other serious conditions.

Knowing your score can help you:
🩺 Detect heart disease before symptoms appear
⚖️ Understand your personal risk
🧠 Make informed lifestyle or treatment decisions

The scan takes just minutes and could help prevent a life-threatening event. Call RIS Imaging to schedule: 863-688-2334

🧠 Tremors. Stiffness. Slowed movement. These symptoms can be caused by several conditions, but determining whether they’re due to Parkinson’s disease requires precision.

That’s where a DaTscan can help.

DaTscan is a specialized imaging test that shows how dopamine is functioning in the brain. Since Parkinson’s disease is linked to a loss of dopamine activity, this scan helps physicians differentiate Parkinsonian syndromes from other movement disorders—guiding more accurate diagnosis and treatment.

✅ Noninvasive
✅ FDA-approved
✅ Provides valuable insight when the diagnosis isn't clear
