Lung Cancer Screening Can Save Your Life!

You Can Take Charge Of Your Health!

 

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?

Tobacco:

-Are you a current or former smoker?

-Are you exposed to a significant amount of second hand smoke?

 

Family History:

-Do you have a personal family history of lung cancer?

 

Carcinogens or cancer causing agents:

-Have you had increased exposure to asbestos, radon or other known carcinogens?

 

Inflammation:

-Do you suffer from recurring inflammation of the lungs such as tuberculosis or pneumonia?

 

If you meet any of these criteria or have ever worried about developing lung disease, HealthDetect can give you the answers you need to take control of your health!

 

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.
