Hi, I'm Dr. Tony Bennett and welcome to our website! You
may have heard me on 760 WJR. If so you know how pleased I
am to announce the opening of Affiliated Medical of Dearborn
and to introduce our new, innovative Multi-Slice CT Scanner.
The CT Scanner we have at Affiliated Medical is a truly miraculous
piece of technology allowing for several medical innovations.
We'd like to give you a virtual tour of our clinic and show
you exactly what to expect for your CT Scan. We hope you'll
find the answers to many questions on the wide array of Medical
Care programs we now currently offer. If not, we'd love to

Introducing...
|
A new and revolutionary breakthrough in
the early detection and prevention of Heart disease and cancer.
It's called Cardiac Scoring and it's something everyone can benefit
from. Cardiac Scoring is a fast, convenient, and painless procedure
that evaluates and measures calcium build-up in the arteries of
the heart. Cardiac Scoring at the Affiliated
Medical Clinic in Dearborn uses an ultra fast Phillips multi
slice CT scanner. The Phillips CT scanner represents a new and unprecedented
revolution within the Medical community. One out of only a few scanners
with this technological capability in the state of Michigan, the
multi slice CT scanner makes it possible to take clear, unobscured
pictures of the body in a friendly, non-threatening, and comfortable
environment. Cardiac Scoring can detect coronary artery disease
years or even decades before it would have ever been suspected prior
to the medical use of Diagnostic Imaging.

Early Detection of Coronary Calcification
|
Detection of coronary calcification with
CT has proven to be an effective method for identifying early atherosclerosis
even before obstruction occurs and at a time when specific treatment
and intensive risk factor reduction can prevent life-threatening
cardiac events. CT can identify a patient with individualized evidence
of coronary disease already existing. These patients are at risk
both now as well as in the future and can benefit significantly
from risk modification. The amount of coronary calcification detected
is proportional to the total coronary atherosclerotic burden, and
CT is quite complimentary to the assessment of the general population
risk factors just as cholesterol level measurement.
|
Lung Cancer Screening
|
Unfortunately 30% of our population continues
to smoke and is at risk for developing lung cancer. Lung
cancer is now the second leading cause of death in our country
behind heart disease but far ahead of breast and other forms of
cancer. CT can detect very early masses before symptoms even begin
to ever occur.

Other Assessment Services
|
The multi slice CT scan team at Affiliated
Medical of Dearborn offers complete radiological examinations as
well as full body scans to detect abnormalities of the heart, lungs,
sinus, abdomen, etc. Please check our Medical

The whole team at Affiliated Medical of Dearborn is excited to be involved
