ASC ITALIA
In our specialist Imaging Center, we perform the Diffusion Whole Body examination, an advanced, non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging exam that allows early diagnosis of cancer throughout the body for cancer prevention in healthy people.
THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY DIAGNOSIS
ASC Italia intends to introduce advanced oncological prevention into the lifestyle of healthy people, by offering an advanced and non-invasive magnetic resonance examination.
“Finding cancers when they are in a very early stage gives us a great advantage in treating them effectively and reducing the collateral effects of the therapy. That’s why Diffusion Whole Body, called a “magic box” by some, is the real prevention examination of the future”. Prof. Massimo Bellomi</strong
HIGH TECHNOLOGY IN THE SERVICE OF HEALTH
The Center is equipped with a latest-generation Magnetic Resonance scanner, enabling us to perform the non-invasive Diffusion Whole Body examination that allows us to identify tumours of even few millimeters, without radiation or contrast agents.
“According to the scientific literature, the Diffusion Whole Body examination, is similar in sensibility and specificity to PET scans, but has the advantages of not using ionizing radiation or injecting contrast agents. It has a zero-biological cost – that’s why Diffusion Whole Body is suitable for prevention in healthy people”. Dr. Giuseppe Petralia
SCIENTIFIC OVERSIGHT
In developing its mission and for scientific oversight, ASC Italy is supported by the European Institute of Technology (IEO) in Milan.
In particular, Specialist Radiologists from IEO who collaborate with the international scientific community in the study of the Diffusion Whole Body have fostered the growth of this technique in Italy.
IN A BOOK THE HISTORY OF ASC ITALIA
The magic box against cancer (Mind Editions), written by Dr. Giuseppe Petralia, tells the scientific history of the development of the DWB, its past at the European Institute of Oncology in Milan and the birth of ASC Italy, the only structure in Europe that offers this exam to the healthy population.
The book is also an opportunity to take stock of all the roads useful for cancer prevention in general and for early diagnosis, which remains the real winning tool to seize tumors at birth.
«”After reading this book, you too will be convinced of the value of the DWB. Join us so that as many people as possible can benefit!”»
