Our low-dose screening program is designed to try to catch lung cancer at an earlier, more treatable stage, thereby saving lives.
Do I Qualify for a Lung Cancer Screening?
Am I between the age of 50-80 years old?
Do I have a 20-pack-year history of smoking?
(Pack Years Calculator)Did I quit smoking within the last 15 years?

What Can I Expect?
Our low-dose CT lung cancer screening is non-invasive and does not require the injection or ingestion of contrast dyes. This screening is quick and painless, with patients only required to hold their breath for 5-10 seconds during the scan to create a clearer image of the lungs.
