A. Not all diseases can be detected on a scan. Many important problems are discovered from blood tests, e.g. diabetes, anemia, thyroid problems, certain types of blood cancer, etc., and by careful physical exam. Unfortunately, no exam – no matter how complete – can detect everything. Within the limits of the tests, you will have one of the most comprehensive health exams available today.
