What is a CT Lung Cancer Screening?

A CT Lung Scan is considered the gold standard for early lung cancer detection. CT can detect lung cancer in its earliest most curable stage, before symptoms occur and before it is visible on a chest x-ray. The test is non-invasive and takes approximately 5 minutes. Afterward, our radiologist carefully reviews the test results and provides the patient with a comprehensive written medical report.
