At Cuero Regional Hospital, we also employ a state-of-the-art DEXA bone densitometry unit to assess the risk of a fracture of the hip and spine due to osteoporosis. In contrast to systems that measure the bone density at the wrist and forearm, this system determines the bone density at the two most common sites of debilitating fractures related to osteoporosis.

Heart disease is the number one killer among people in the United States. It is indiscriminate, attacking all social and economic circles. It is impartial. When the heart is corroded and hardened by plaque, blood is impeded and an insufficient amount of blood gets through. When the heart doesn't get a sufficient amount of oxygen, it begins to suffer damage. If the corrosion blocks the entire artery, or particles chip away and rupture in the artery, a complete blockage occurs. Blood and oxygen don't get to the heart muscle and a heart attack occurs. Cuero Regional Hospital's LightSpeed Volume 64-Slice CT Scanner can help identify the amount of calcification or plaque in the arteries of the heart. With just a 5-second noninvasive scan, we can determine the amount of damage, if any, from LDL cholesterol and other risk factors. Talk to your doctor today about this innovative diagnostic tool. It could save your life.
