CT Heart Scan

Osteoporosis

According to the American Heart Association, more than 152,000 Americans under the age of 65 die from cardiovascular disease each year. With the latest technology, we can scan your heart in a matter of seconds, without surgery, obtaining images and information critical to your health. AAR is proud to serve Inova Mount Vernon Hospital, the first hospital in the Washington, DC, metropolitan region to offer a state-of-the-art 64-slice CT scanner, as seen on The Oprah Winfrey Show and the Today Show.

Bone loss occurs without symptoms and can lead to painful fractures. 77 percent of all patients affected by osteoporosis are not diagnosed. Women are especially susceptible and can lose up to 20 percent of their total bone mass in the first five to seven years following menopause. Osteoporosis can be detected safely and non-invasively. Regular screenings, provided by AAR, ensure prompt diagnosis and early intervention for this disease.
