Low Dose CT Lung Cancer Screening is a quick, painless imaging test that uses low-dose radiation to create detailed pictures of the lungs. It is designed to detect lung cancer early in high-risk individuals, especially those aged 50 to 80 with a significant smoking history. Early detection through this screening can find lung cancer before symptoms appear, greatly improving the chances of successful treatment and better outcomes.

Low Dose CT Lung Cancer Screening employs a specialized CT scanner that uses a low dose of radiation to capture detailed, 3D images of the lungs. The patient lies on a table that moves through a donut-shaped machine. Breath is held for about 15 to 20 seconds while the scanner quickly takes images. This non-invasive process allows the doctor at our affiliated hospital to detect abnormal nodules or early signs of lung cancer.

1. Consultation and assessment will be conducted.
2. Patients will be asked to lie on the motorized table.
3. The table will be moved through a low-dose CT scanner.
4. Breathing will be paused briefly while images are taken.
5. The images will be reviewed.
6. Further recommendations will be provided.
