Mountaineer Imaging offers screening services for high risk, asymptomatic patients who desire a thorough radiology examination which can detect subclinical disease. These examinations are provided with the assistance of our clinical nurse consultant. |
 Cardiac Calcium Scoring in a safe, painless, fast CT of the heart which measures the amount of calcium in the coronary arteries. The degree of calcification serves as an accurate predictor of heart attack risk. |

 Virtual Colonoscopy is a CT examination of the abdomen which offers sensitivity and specificity similar to regular colonscopy yet with reduced patient risk, discomfort and cost. The exam requires no IV contrast or sedation and allows the patient to return to his or her normal daily activity after only a 30 minute examination.

 Lung Cancer Screening Chest CT is a sensitive tool in detecting lung cancer far earlier than is possible with a routine chest x-ray. The five year survival rate for Stage 1A lung cancer is 85+%. Early detection is often only possible with CT. |
