ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTICS

• Colonoscopy - typically recommended every 5 years starting at age 50, this test helps identify risks of colon cancer. If there is a family history of colon cancer, individuals should have their first colonscopy 5 years before the youngest person within their family who was diagnosed with colon polyps or colon cancer.
• Spiral CT of Chest - the most comprehensive scan available in determining lung cancer risks
• Treadmill Test - while the cardiac CT scan included in all executive health evaluations will detect coronary artery disease at an earlier stage than a treadmill test, many patients and physicians request this diagnostic. This can be done be done with nuclear imaging or ultrasonography.

  • Diphtheria, polio, shingles, pneumonia, measles, mumps and rubella
  • Travel Related Counseling and Immunizations

• Carotid Ultrasound - this scan of the carotid artery is a highly accurate predictor of stroke and is recommended for those who have experienced a stroke or those who are at high-risk.
• Tonometry and Glaucoma Screening - these diagnostics check for potential hearing impairments, and the major cause of preventable blindness.
• Additional Laboratory Analysis - while all executive physicals include laboratory analyses, there are innumerable additional tests which may be of interest and importance, such as:
