Cardiac CT Calcium Score
Cardiac calcium scoring tests can be used to determine the risk of cardiovascular disease and heart disease. The tests use a multi-slice CT scanner for the detection of small amounts of calcium or plaque in the coronary arteries. Images can show whether the coronary arteries are narrowed or blocked by any calcium or plaque build-up, which can be an indicator of heart disease. CT Cardiac Calcium scoring has been shown to be superior to standard treadmill stress testing for the diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).
Galleri Early Cancer Detection Test
Today, most cancers are found too late and are often deadly. The earlier cancer is identified, the greater the chance of successful treatment & survival. Galleri can detect many of the unscreened cancers that cause 71% of cancer deaths every year & detect cancer signals across more than 50 types of cancer with a low-false positive rate of 0.5%. (A simple blood draw and results within 10 days.)
Food Sensitivity Testing
This at-home lab test measures your body’s immune response to 96 foods to help guide you on what types of food to prioritize in a two-part elimination diet.
Genetic Fitness and Nutrition Testing
The body’s unique genetic makeup determines how it best reacts to specific diet and exercise strategies for weight management. .e science of genetic testing can help identify the genes that dictate how
the body processes carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and micro-nutrients and how patients respond to di¡erent types of exercise. Weight loss programs tailored to an individual’s DNA has been proven to be much more effective than one-size-fits-all programs because they take the guesswork out of health management.

Low-Dose CT Lung Screening
Low-Dose CT lung screenings have proved to be an effective tool for early detection of lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. Routine chest X-rays are often unable
to detect lung cancers until they are of advanced stage. Low-dose CT can greatly improve the likelihood of detection of early lung cancers, enabling treatment at a more curable stage.

Whole Body & Brain MRI
A whole-body MRI scan looks at the body from head to toe to and cancers, inflammation, or obstructive processes in the body. In the head, the exam can show brain masses, shrinkage, old strokes, the sinuses, and nasal cavities. In the neck, abnormalities in the lymph nodes, thyroid masses or arthritis in the cervical spine can be identified. In the chest, we check the heart for enlargement and the aorta for aneurysms. Moving to the abdomen and pelvis, we can evaluate the kidneys, liver, spleen, adrenal glands, gallbladder (gallstones), pancreas, bladder, uterus, and ovaries. We look at the spine to check for disc herniation and spinal stenosis, and in the extremities, arthritis in the joints. An additional exam of a specific area may be required if an abnormality is identified to obtain more detailed information.
Vitamin B Nutrient Lab Panel
All the B vitamins together are called the “B vitamin complex.” The B vitamins are:
B1, thiamine. B2 riboflavin. B3 niacin (also called nicotinic acid and nicotinamide)
Antioxidant and Micronutrient Lab Panel
Antioxidants fight free radicals and can stop free radical reactions. Antioxidants work to prevent damage and can, at times, reverse damage. Antioxidants can boost your immune system. A balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds provides all the antioxidants your body needs.
Fitness Screening
A Fitness Assessment plays a crucial role in promoting optimal health & well-being. The detailed evaluation by Marshall Medical Fitness Personnel – Performance Health Coaches and Personal
Trainer helps to identify individual strengths and weaknesses, tailor exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle programs to meet specific needs, and enhance overall health and quality of life.
Neurocognitive Function Testing
This is a specialized evaluation designed to assess cognitive capabilities and neurologic health.
Sleep Apnea Screening
A medical consultation is not complete without a thorough screening for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). It is impossible for patients to achieve optimal health without addressing this devastating condition. Although society has turned snoring into something comedic. Make no mistake, sleep apnea can kill you. When a patient has this disorder and it is not treated, the body has only two choices nightly: Die! Low oxygen is not compatible with Life. Or dramatically alter the body
chemistry, hormonal rhythms and metabolism to survive.
Prostate Cancer Screening - Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA)
Marshall has an individualized approach to screening, monitoring, surveying men. At the minimum, all men older than forty should receive a yearly PSA screen. Follow up and frequency of repeat testing
will be personalized to the patient. Marshall has an algorithmic approach to PSA management that was developed in collaboration with a Board-Certified Urologist.

Advanced Diagnostics FAQs
What are advanced diagnostics?
Advanced diagnostics are specialized medical tests and screenings designed to identify health risks, disease processes, and biological changes before symptoms develop. These tools provide a deeper understanding of your health than a traditional annual physical and help create a personalized strategy for disease prevention, longevity, and performance optimization.
Why is advanced diagnostic testing important?
Many serious health conditions—including heart disease, cancer, metabolic disorders, and cognitive decline—can develop silently for years before symptoms appear. Advanced diagnostic testing helps detect potential issues earlier, allowing for more proactive treatment, prevention, and health optimization.
What types of advanced diagnostic tests do you offer?
