An elevated PSA (prostate-specific antigen) level doesn’t automatically mean prostate cancer, but it does mean your provider may refer you for further imaging, like a prostate MRI, to get clearer answers.

Precision Prostate MRI
A raised PSA level doesn’t always mean cancer, but it does signal the need for closer assessment. Our prostate MRI technology gives your doctor an intricate look at the prostate with sharp image quality, guiding more accurate decisions while minimizing unnecessary procedures.
Low-Dose CT for Lung Health
For individuals aged 50–80 with significant smoking histories, lung cancer screening using low-dose CT scans may be recommended. These scans are quick, painless, and designed to find concerning changes before symptoms develop — giving you and your provider valuable insights into your lung health.
How to Get Started
- Discuss concerns and screening options with your provider.
- Obtain a referral if one is needed.
- Book your imaging exam online or over the phone. Many centers are able to accommodate same-day or next-day visits.

FAQ's About Men's Health
Who qualifies for a lung cancer screening CT?
Men and women between 50–80 years old with a smoking history may qualify for annual lung cancer screening. If you have quit smoking, but have a significant smoking history, you may still qualify. Your provider can confirm.
Why is a prostate MRI better than the “old-fashioned” ultrasound?
Traditional ultrasounds guide needles randomly into the prostate, which is only about the size of a walnut. A multiparametric prostate MRI with contouring software maps out the exact spots that look suspicious, so the biopsy targets the right area. No guessing, and fewer unnecessary pokes.
How do I prepare for a prostate MRI?
Preparation is simple. Your provider may suggest minor dietary changes. The scan is non-invasive and usually lasts 30–45 minutes.
Do I need a referral before getting a prostate MRI or lung cancer screening CT?
Yes. For prostate imaging, you’ll need a PSA blood test first. For lung screening, your provider will review your age and smoking history to see if you qualify.
