General Practitioners

Osteoporosis
High Cholesterol
Colonoscopy
"Moving on to the colon, you can see how difficult it becomes to trace the intestine through this area. That's because there's a lot of residue in your bowel-feces. [He looks at me accusingly, but I swear I don't have to go.] If we had given you a cleansing prep, I'd be able to do a virtual colonoscopy."
Electrocardiogram
"This is a 53-year-old male who looks like Mr. America, in absolute top physical condition," he explains. "He had just come from Harvard's main teaching hospital, where he had a stress EKG, and a cardiologist gave him a clean bill of health. Yet look at all this plaque in his arteries. This is the kind of guy who just keels over, and everybody is amazed because he was so healthy."

Internal Medicine
"This is the future of medicine," said Dr. Eugene Levin, who has an internal-medicine and cardiology practice in Laguna Beach and is clinical professor at UCI. Levin, 73, had his first full-body CT scan seven years ago.
Kidney Stones
Finally, he zeroes in on my kidneys. They look good, except that toward the bottom of the left one, there's a bright white spot, similar to the plaque I saw previously near my heart. "That's a kidney stone," he says. "It's still small enough [less than a millimeter in diameter] that it should pass. But you'll need to drink a lot of fluid. If it grows larger and gets stuck, you'll think you've been kicked by a mule."
Colon Cancer
Brickman says the next generation of the technology, which may emerge in about a year to a year and a half, will be able to provide very specific physiologic information on the various tissues and organs imaged. For example, he says, it could supplement a sigmoidoscopy in detecting colon cancer. He sees promise for the next generation becoming a safe and valuable diagnostic tool. "Because a full body scan would be done so rarely, it could be a bargain to be scanned from head to groin to gain a great deal of information," says Brickman.
Endoscopy
"In effect our technology enables virtual endoscopy where we look inside the bronchial tree, whole stomach and duodenum for cancers and ulcers. We find emphysema with this technique long before it will show up with any other form of testing including pulmonary function tests. We are literally seeing he very early stages of cell breakdown. In addition to offering colonoscopy, in the next month or two we will have the ability to detect Alzheimer's disease in advance of symptoms.
Lung Cancer
Rosen said that occasionally a routine X-ray will detect advanced lung cancer at a stage when it's too late to treat.

Ultrasound
The skeptics are concerned about two major areas. They're worried about cost effectiveness and screening (as always) raises the question of cost effectiveness. But if you look at screening, if we were doing this test just to pick up kidney cancers for example, we probably wouldn't find enough of them to justify the overall cost of the exam. But then you throw in the pancreas and the liver and the adrenals, and the lymph nodes and the lungs and all of these other areas that we see cancers in - the prostate, the ovaries, uterus, etc. - and then you throw in the heart, and then you throw in the back and the lungs and emphysema, and it just keeps building up, to the point where it's an extraordinary cost-effective process, and that's the first one. And we're still evolving this technology. We actually have some major advances coming here within the next year. But the other one is does it generate unnecessary questions or unnecessary fear in the patient? The fear issue is really an issue of how you handle the patient and that's why we train our people to do that properly. Again, we don't look to generate fear, we're looking to generate motivation and change. The issue of spinning off unnecessary tests has really not turned out to be the case. About the worst we encountered is that many people have little nodules in their lungs (often quite tiny) and in 99+% of the time they're going to be due to things like air-born fungal infections, which you can't differentiate them from an early cancer. So what we do is, since they're usually so tiny (about 1.0-0.5mm), is we just track them over a period of time. There is time, we believe, to play with these things. If there is a growth pattern, then we'll get more aggressive. Usually one can make the distinction in that simple way. Otherwise we'll move them down the hall to an ultrasound machine which very inexpensively and very quickly can answer questions that are raised. Occasionally, we'll put them back on the table and do dye injections to get the definitive answers that we're looking for. And that's usually the way it goes. It's been a very unusual event where a patient has gone on to an unnecessary, invasive procedure based on what we have seen. It does happen, it will happen and there is no screening process that will never not have that outcome occasionally associated with it, but I think overall we've done quite well with it.
MRI
The particular technology and techniques we're using really aren't giving enough yield in the types of pathology as we would want to find in the brain, so we don't want to give people a test that just says we looked at the head without feeling that we've looked it in a way that would have found the important diseases one would want what to find. If we want to do the head, we give the patient the option of having an open magnetic resonance MRI exam. It does of course add to the cost and time, but we offer that as the option.
Radiology
The American College of Radiology, an association of radiologists, recently stated that there is not enough evidence to justify recommending the screening for people with no symptoms or a family history of disease. It has not been found to be cost-effective, the ACR stated.
X-Rays
Mammography
"I have spent the past 30 years either as a medical director or a consultant to a number of major companies developing technology for medicine, including Raytheon, Adac Labs, Phillips and General Electric," says Eisenberg. "We helped to pioneer a number of fields - mammography, digital electronic imaging and the field of Interventional Radiology." While running a division at Harvard's Beth Israel Hospital he also worked as medical director at Raytheon, where he worked to develop the forerunner of what has become HealthView's current AngioCAT. "Back in the mid- 70's we tried to invent CT scanning, but we didn't know it. We called it tomosynthesis. The mathematics were identical, only the specs were much greater than anything built to this day."

HEALTH: PEOPLE ARE UNDERGOING AN ELECTIVE FULL-BODY CT SCAN TO DETERMINE THEIR HEALTH, BUT EXPERTS ARE DIVIDED ON THE TEST'S VALUE
Interventional Radiology
Eisenberg is a radiologist and academician with a physics background who has spent his career pioneering and developing technology and applications for medicine. He has been a full professor at UCLA and UCI medical schools and as associate professor at Harvard, and at each university was director of its cardiovascular and interventional radiology divisions.

Cyst
Lesions
Dr. Eisenberg scores each of his patients based on how much plaque he finds. I have two lesions- the one near my heart and another of similar size in an artery feeding my pelvis. (Thankfully, there is none in the vessels leading to my penis, which would signal impending impotence.) Their combined volume is 3.2 MM
