March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.

Many people do not experience symptoms in the early stages of colorectal cancer, which is why screening and paying attention to changes in your body are so important.

Warning signs can include:
• Changes in bowel habits
• Blood in the stool
• Re**al bleeding
• Abdominal pain or cramping
• Fatigue or weakness
• Unexplained weight loss

If you are 45 or older or have a family history of colorectal cancer, talk with your healthcare provider about screening options and when further evaluation may be needed.

At Bluegrass Regional Imaging, we believe patient education is an important part of healthcare.

Ever wondered why imaging at an independent center can cost less than the hospital—without cutting corners on your care?

Bluegrass Regional Imaging is an Independent Diagnostic Testing Facility (IDTF). That simply means we’re an outpatient imaging center that focuses on CT and PET/CT, working alongside your physician as part of your care team.

Because we’re not part of a hospital system, we don’t charge a hospital facility fee and our overhead is lower. That’s why your out-of-pocket cost is often less, depending on your insurance plan.

What doesn’t change?
• Hospital-grade CT and PET/CT scanners
• Board-certified radiologists reading your studies
• Experienced technologists and staff who see you as a person, not a number
• A focus on getting you in quickly with a comfortable, outpatient experience

If your provider has ordered a CT or PET/CT, you usually have a choice where it’s done. ✅

📍 Bluegrass Regional Imaging – independent, patient-focused, and committed to high-quality imaging care.
