Lung Screening LDCT
What is a Lung Screening LDCT?
Lung cancer is the number one cause of cancer deaths in the United States. But, as with most cancers, if caught early, lung cancer may be successfully treated.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends annual screening with Low-Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) for patients at a high risk for lung cancer.
A LDCT is a simple test that uses sophisticated X-ray equipment and up to 90 percent less ionizing radiation than a conventional CT scan to identify lung cancer and nodules that would be invisible on regular chest X-rays—and long before they cause symptoms.
