| The MyScan testing program offers
a proactive approach to your long-term health. Patients may schedule
their test without a physician referral and choose from a heart scan,
a lung scan, abdomen/pelvis scan or a combination which is called
a Body Scan.
At Memorial, results
are sent directly to the patient and to the physician they designate.
Reports are ready within five business days. This new screening
tool offers information and our extensive health information team
also offers insight on how to understand test findings. This service
is now available at Memorial because early detection is the key
to saving lives.
