Giving your baby the best start doesn't end at delivery. 👶✨

During pregnancy, we rely on ultrasounds to monitor our babies. But did you know certain conditions—like hip dysplasia (DDH)—often cannot be seen before birth?

While routine physical checks by your doctor after birth are essential, manual examinations can sometimes miss hidden structural issues. This is exactly why in many European countries, a newborn hip ultrasound is the standard of care for every baby.

Identifying these conditions early (ideally before 6 weeks of age) means any necessary treatment is much simpler and highly successful.

Discover Malta’s First Dedicated Neonatal Ultrasound Service, exclusively at LifeScan.mt in Naxxar. Led by a Consultant Paediatric Radiologist, we offer safe, radiation-free screening for your baby’s hips, spine, brain, and kidneys.

Proactive care for complete peace of mind. 💙

🗓️ Screening is most effective in the first few months of life.

One size does not fit all when it comes to breast health. 🩺

Did you know that if you are under 40, a mammogram might not be the best tool for you?

It’s all about tissue density. Younger women often have denser breast tissue, which can make mammograms harder to read. In these cases, an ultrasound is often the gold standard—it allows us to see clearly through dense tissue to investigate lumps or changes without using radiation.

But remember: every woman is different. Whether it’s routine screening or checking a specific symptom, the "right" test depends on your unique anatomy and history.

Don't guess when it comes to your health. We can help determine exactly what you need.

Most babies with hip dysplasia look completely fine at birth. No clicks. No warning signs. Nothing obvious.
That’s exactly why ultrasound matters.

A hip ultrasound is ideally done in the first weeks of life, before 6 weeks, when treatment is simplest and non-operative if needed.
It’s quick, painless, and uses the same safe ultrasound technology used during pregnancy.

At LifeScan.mt, no referral is needed. Parents can book directly.

If you’re expecting, or know someone who recently had a baby, this is one of those checks worth knowing about early.

This is exactly why we invested in AI-assisted breast imaging at LifeScan.mt.
Used correctly, AI supports radiologists by improving confidence and helping detect cancers earlier, without replacing clinical expertise.
Malta doesn’t need to wait for the future. The tools already exist.

AI is making waves in medicine, and Malta might want to take note. A world-first Swedish trial has shown that artificial intelligence can help doctors detect breast cancer more accurately and faster than ever before.

The study, published in The Lancet, involved over 100,000 women who had routine mammograms in Sweden in 2021 and 2022. Participants were split into two groups: one had a single radiologist assisted by AI, while the other followed the usual European standard of two radiologists reading each scan.

The results? The AI-assisted group spotted 9% more cancers, and over the next two years, they had 12% fewer interval cancers, the kind that pop up between regular screenings and can be more dangerous. The AI model, called Transpara, had been trained on over 200,000 previous scans from 10 countries.

Lead researcher Kristina Lang said rolling out AI in screening programs could ease the pressure on overworked radiologists and help catch more cancers early, but stressed it must be done carefully and with continuous monitoring.

Experts agree that AI is not a replacement for doctors. Jean-Philippe Masson, head of the French National Federation of Radiologists, warned that the radiologist’s eye is still key, as AI can sometimes flag harmless changes as cancer. Cost and over-diagnosis also remain concerns in countries like France.

Despite that, the trial shows promise. Interim results from 2023 already revealed that AI nearly halved the time doctors spent reading scans, a huge boost for efficiency.

Breast cancer continues to be a global challenge: in 2022, 2.3 million women were diagnosed and 670,000 died, according to the WHO. If AI can help detect more cases earlier, it could be a game-changer.

So while Malta hasn’t rolled out AI-supported screenings yet, this Swedish trial might just be a glimpse of the future of early cancer detection.

Do you think Malta should adopt similar systems?

Many of the biggest health changes in women don’t come with symptoms.
They happen quietly, years before menopause.

A whole-body DEXA scan helps establish a baseline early, when there’s still time to act. It looks beyond bone density, offering insight into body composition and internal health risks that matter as you move through midlife.

This isn’t about reacting to problems later.
It’s about understanding your health now.

Because prevention works best when it starts early.
