Inner Imaging Body Scans
at Reduced Fee Schedule

While you should always consult your regular physician regarding medical procedures, your union has arranged a discounted fee schedule for those who wish to avail themselves of the latest body-scanning technology providing cutting-edge medical diagnoses. Inner Imaging, located at 307 East 63rd Street in Manhattan, offers non-invasive heart, lung, colon, or full body scans that can detect early stages of heart disease, lung and colon issues, or other problematic conditions.

The heart scan can detect plaque deposits and hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis), which can lead to sudden heart attack. Seventy percent (70%) of  heart attacks are caused by ruptured plaques, not blockages, that go undetected by traditional stress testing.

The lung scan uses Electronic Beam Tomography (EBT) that is eleven (11) times more sensitive than a regular chest X-ray and can detect early lung disease. A baseline lung scan can also help measure the effects of environmental pollutants and job related hazards – which is especially important in light of the dangerous exposure many of us experienced while working in the rescue-and-recovery effort in the wake of 9/11 and on the job.

Inner Imaging’s EBT technology can also conduct a virtual colonography, a non-invasive procedure (as opposed to the traditional invasive colonoscopy) for the early detection of colon cancer, the nation’s second most common cause of cancer-related death.

Members with the following risk factors should consider having these life saving tests:

• Family history of heart disease
• Diabetes
• High cholesterol
• High blood pressure
• Smokers or former smokers
• Over 50 in age, never having had a traditional colonoscopy (even with no prior family history of colon cancer)
• A family history of colorectal cancer
• A high-fat diet
• Being physically inactive
• Obesity
• Having spent considerable time at Ground Zero, the morgue, or the Staten Island landfill during in the wake of 9/11.

More information on these and other procedures is available at (212) 777-8900 or at www.innerimaging.com.
