A Coronary Calcium Score scan is a quick, noninvasive CT scan that measures calcium buildup in your heart’s arteries — one of the earliest signs of heart disease.

Even if you feel fine, plaque can silently build up over time, increasing your risk for a heart attack or other serious conditions.

Knowing your score can help you:
🩺 Detect heart disease before symptoms appear
⚖️ Understand your personal risk
🧠 Make informed lifestyle or treatment decisions

The scan takes just minutes and could help prevent a life-threatening event. Call RIS Imaging to schedule: 863-688-2334

🧠 Tremors. Stiffness. Slowed movement. These symptoms can be caused by several conditions, but determining whether they’re due to Parkinson’s disease requires precision.

That’s where a DaTscan can help.

DaTscan is a specialized imaging test that shows how dopamine is functioning in the brain. Since Parkinson’s disease is linked to a loss of dopamine activity, this scan helps physicians differentiate Parkinsonian syndromes from other movement disorders—guiding more accurate diagnosis and treatment.

✅ Noninvasive
✅ FDA-approved
✅ Provides valuable insight when the diagnosis isn't clear

A thyroid biopsy is a simple, minimally invasive procedure used to evaluate thyroid nodules or lumps. Using a thin needle and ultrasound guidance, a small tissue sample is collected to determine whether the nodule is benign (noncancerous) or requires further attention.

Most thyroid nodules are harmless—but a biopsy provides peace of mind and helps your doctor choose the best care plan for you.

If you’ve been told you have a thyroid nodule, talk to our team about whether a thyroid biopsy might be right for you: https://www.risimaging.com/services/diagnostic-imaging/ultrasound/thyroid-biopsy/

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths—but there are proven ways to lower your risk.

✅ Don’t smoke (or quit if you do): Quitting today can still make a big difference in your long-term health.
🚭 Avoid secondhand smoke: Even limited exposure increases risk—keep your home and car smoke-free.
🏡 Test your home for radon: This invisible gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer, and testing is simple and affordable.

This month, take a moment to learn more, support those affected, and share resources that can help others live healthier, smoke-free lives.

Breast health matters, and different tools are available to help doctors get the clearest picture possible:

🔹 3D Mammography: An advanced form of mammography that takes images from multiple angles, making it easier to detect small cancers, especially in women with dense breast tissue.

🔹 Breast Ultrasound: Often used as a follow-up to mammography, ultrasound helps distinguish between solid masses and fluid-filled cysts without radiation.

🔹 Breast MRI: Provides highly detailed images, especially useful for women with implants, dense breast tissue, or those at higher risk. Since it doesn't involve radiation, it can also be used for younger women who need screening.

🔹 Breast Biopsy: If imaging shows something suspicious, a biopsy is the only way to confirm whether it’s benign or cancerous. This test removes a small sample of breast tissue for closer examination under a microscope.

Each of these tools plays a unique role, sometimes used alone, sometimes together, to ensure the most accurate diagnosis and the best possible care. Learn more at https://www.risimaging.com/services/breast-imaging/
