FROM WHERE TO WHERE?
The "body" scan encompasses the region from the shoulders to the hips. Regarded as the most effective means for screening out potential illness resulting from an outcome of shared concerns for health, diet and life-style.

BUT I'VE NEVER FELT BETTER!
Over the past decade breast cancer awareness has inspired women to take advantage of mammogram technology for early detection. The same principle applies for all of us. Before many diseases become evident as symptoms, there is often a lengthy "presymptomatic" phase in which early detection may be possible with EBT. We know that the earlier you find disease the more successful you will be in treating it and living longer quality lives.

The idea of being "proactive" or actually taking control of your own health is possible now. This interest has been further fueled by coverage on television show like Oprah and Good Morning America. Newspapers like the Wall Street Journal and USA today and magazines like Men's Health have all endorsed full body scans as the top 5 things that must be done to maintain good health.

FEAR FACTOR
We would be remiss if we didn't attempt to address some of the fears people have. Some people believe that "ignorance is bliss" and that not knowing is better (easier) than knowing. While this is an understandable human emotion, it's not rational nor in your best interest. We cannot urge you enough to act past this emotion and know that early detection is your way to living well.

Others are afraid that the procedure will be embarrassing. Let us relieve that fear right now. The wonderful thing about EBT scanning is that you remain in your clothes. You will have a few electrodes placed on your abdomen and that is as invasive as this procedure gets. Now, if you are embarrassed about technicians and doctors seeing your insides, well that just cannot be helped!

The bottom line to the fear factor is this…you will in fact be greatly empowered and relieved by the knowledge of knowing for sure. If something is found, the early detection of the disease will result in a higher percentage of a cure. In actuality, most people leave Milwaukee Heart Scan feeling as light as air because they KNOW that they are just fine!
