Give Thanks for Good Health: The Importance of Preventive Imaging This November
As the holiday season approaches, November reminds us to slow down, reflect, and give thanks for what matters most: our health, our families, and the moments we share together. It’s also a perfect time to check in on your own well-being. At Imaging Specialists, we believe that gratitude for good health starts with proactive care, and that includes keeping up with recommended imaging and screenings.
Preventive imaging plays a vital role in detecting potential health concerns before symptoms appear. Whether it’s a mammogram, MRI, or CT scan, these exams allow physicians to identify issues early, when they’re most treatable and outcomes are best.
Why Preventive Imaging Matters
Many conditions—including cancer, heart disease, and osteoporosis—develop quietly over time. With advanced imaging, small changes in the body can be seen before they become major health challenges. Staying up to date on your screenings helps you and your doctor:
Detect disease in its earliest stages
Monitor ongoing health conditions or previous findings
Avoid unnecessary emergency visits or delayed diagnoses
Make informed decisions about your care
Common Screenings to Consider Before Year-End
As the year wraps up, many patients take advantage of remaining insurance benefits or flexible spending accounts to complete their annual health exams. It’s a great time to schedule:
Mammogram – Detects breast cancer early, often before symptoms appear
Bone Density Scan (DEXA) – Evaluates bone health and risk of osteoporosis
CT Calcium Scoring – Measures calcium buildup in the coronary arteries to help assess your risk for heart disease
BMI Testing – Provides an accurate measure of body composition and overall metabolic health; ask your doctor if this screening is right for you
