SUMMARY:HEALTH SCREENING
DESCRIPTION:The Osteoporosis Assessment Service will be attending on the above date when the following health checks will be available \nOsteoporosis Fracture Risk Assessment  (£30) \nUltrasound Bone Density Heel Scan \nThe machine used to perform the test is a heel ultrasound scanner (McCue CUBAClinical) which does not use X-rays but safe ultrasound signals. The bone density measured in the heel is strongly related to the hip and spine and is an excellent surrogate scanning site for osteoporosis assessments. \nA small amount of ultrasound gel is placed on a bare heel and the scan is performed within 3 minutes. The results are printed and explained to each client at the time of their consultation. \nCardiovascular Assessment  (£25) \nArtery elasticity measured to estimate the degree of artery wall damage in the coronary vessels of the heart. \nWe employ the use of a non-invasive monitoring device which measures an arterial wave pattern which provides information on the condition of the main artery in the arm – the brachial artery.  Five key patterns are recorded with A & B being seen in healthy arteries and C\, D & E being an indication of poor cardiovascular profiles.  A standard blood pressure device simply produces data on the maximum and minimum pressures recorded\, and does not provide any information on the condition of the artery wall. \nCholesterol Test (£15) \nNon Fasting blood test \nA small sample of blood is obtained from a client’s finger for analysis on a Lipotrend cholesterol analyzer. \nInitial risk assessment for hypercholesterolemia (Raised cholesterol) can be based upon a total non-fasting cholesterol sample. Individuals found to have raised Total Cholesterol profiles will\, depending upon other associated risk factors\, be encouraged to seek a fasting cholesterol assessment. \nPSA (Male Prostate Blood Test) (£30) \nMALES aged 45 years + (for your husbands and partners) \nFinger blood sample to assess the presence and concentration of prostate specific antigen in circulation. \nA small sample of blood is placed upon a cassette which measures the concentration of PSA in the sample and provides an immediate visual result if levels are above the normal range. \n
