A painless, safe and accurate one minute test can tell you whether or not you have lung cancer and other serious conditions of the lung and chest.  

By performing a quick CAT scan of your chest, we can determine whether or not you have a lung malignancy that may be found in the early stages while it can still be successfully treated.  You will have peace of mind that you are now in charge of your health!  The lung scan can also identify evidence of emphysema, cysts, aneurysms and spine disease.

What are the risk factors of Lung Cancer?

How is a lung cancer screening performed?

You will be asked to lie down on your back and will be scanned in our new high speed CAT scanner.  A scan is taken of your lungs during a one breath hold lasting about 20 seconds.  This procedure requires no injections or any other preparations such as fasting.

The information obtained from the scan will then be read by our board certified radiologists and then sent to you and your physician for further consultation.

A physician referral is not required to have a lung cancer screening.
