Lung Cancer Screening
For Lung Cancer Screenings, a low-dose CT scan is used to create pictures of the lungs in order to assess the patient's risk of lung cancer.
Screenings are especially useful for current smokers over the age of 55, or those who have a history of heavy smoking and quit within the last 15 years. (Note: Heavy smoking is defined as a pack a day for 30 + years or an equivalent number).
