A fast, very low-radiation CT scan designed to catch lung cancer at its earliest, most treatable stages, especially for current and former smokers.
Lung cancer is often silent until it is advanced. LDCT lung screening gives you a chance to find problems early, when treatment is far more effective. In just a few minutes, you can get a detailed snapshot of your lung health and take control of your future risk.
Lung Cancer Screening with LDCT

How It Works
Step 1: A Quick, Simple Visit
You'll lie flat on a cushioned table that slowly slides through a large, donut-shaped scanner. The machine never closes around you. You may be asked to hold your breath for 5 to 6 seconds once or twice. No needles, no injections, no prep required.
Step 2: Powerful Imaging That Catches What Others Miss
LDCT produces highly detailed cross-sectional images of your lungs, capable of detecting nodules as small as a few millimeters, often years before any symptoms develop. It uses significantly less radiation than a standard chest CT.
Step 3: Results in 48 Hours, With Support if You Need It
A board-certified radiologist will review your scan images and generate a structured report, typically within 1 to 3 business days. Results are categorized using a standardized scoring system so you always know exactly what was found.
