Evaluate your risk of stroke with MRI/MRA and more
Stroke attacks without warning. While modern therapy has increased stroke survival rate, the disease causes permanent disability, often requiring round-the-clock nursing care. Treating stroke "after onset" is too late. Prevention by early evaluation and health management are essential.
This course is recommended if you…
- have a history of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, and other risk factors.
- are or were a smoker.
- are over 40 years of age.
- have a family history of stroke or aneurysm.
1.5T/3.0T MRI
Our Brain Screening test battery includes MRI and MRA imaging of the head to diagnose existing brain disease and potential risk factors for stroke. High resolution imaging aids accurate diagnosis and imposes a minimal burden on the patient.

Early detection of dementia through specialized testing
Mild forgetfulness and decreased short term memory are a part of natural aging. Dementia however, is not. Long term memories, experiences, are lost and everyday life becomes impaired. Dementia can be caused by shrinkage of the brain due to insufficient blood flow (vascular dementia) or by buildup of protein-plaques in the brain (Alzheimer's). Dementia is not yet curable, but early detection and treatment can help delay onset.
This course is recommended if you…
- if you forget things you always remembered before.
- if you ask the same questions over and over or if you forget to do things people asked you to do.
- if you are worried about getting dementia.
SPECT/CT scanner
The SPECT scanner can show which areas of the brain are receiving less blood than normal. This is useful for detecting vascular dementia in the early stages. Further, VSRAD can detect shrinkage in the hippocampus, enabling early detection of Alzheimer's.
