You can’t put a price on peace of mind. But you can tally the cost of a missed diagnosis. And it’s staggering. From mounting hospital bills and delayed treatments to irreversible health damage and missed moments with loved ones—the true cost isn’t just financial or emotional. It’s highly personal, and in many cases, it’s entirely preventable with a simple scan.

At Life Guard Imaging in Phoenix, we believe early detection is a strategy. One that complements—not replaces—your primary care. One that gives you a clear picture of your health before symptoms force you into action.

What’s the Real Cost of Waiting?

According to Johns Hopkins, diagnostic errors affect 12 million adults each year in the U.S., and an estimated 40,000 to 80,000 people die annually from complications related to a missed diagnosis. We think that’s alarming—don’t you?



When diseases like heart disease, cancer, or aneurysms go undetected, the outcome isn’t just more expensive care. It’s more invasive care. Longer recoveries. Lower survival rates. And more time lost.

Early Imaging Changes Everything

Our low-dose CT scans—including full-body, heart, lung, colon, and bone density scans—can detect:

• Arterial calcification before a heart attack happens
• Lung nodules before they become inoperable
• Kidney and liver abnormalities when they’re still treatable
• Silent aneurysms before they rupture
• Bone loss before the first fracture



A scan at Life Guard Imaging is fast, non-invasive, and doesn’t require a referral. But it’s not a replacement for your doctor. It’s a powerful, complementary tool that helps your medical team see what they can’t spot through labs or physical exams alone.

You Deserve to Know Sooner—You Deserve a Preventative Scan

You don’t have to feel sick to be at risk. And you don’t have to wait for symptoms to take control of your health.

With Life Guard Imaging, you can step into a spa-like environment, speak with knowledgeable staff, and get clear answers—sometimes in under an hour. You’ll receive a detailed report and the confidence that you’ve done something important for yourself and your future.
