Lung cancer screening

Lung cancer screening

Lung cancer screening refers to cancer screening techniques meant to detect lung cancer early before symptoms appear and at a stage when it is more likely to be treatable. Because lung cancer is so common and commonplace, screening for the disease is quite crucial. Low-dose computed tomography is the only screening method for lung cancer that is advised also called a low-dose CT scan, or. A low dose of radiation is used by an X-ray machine while you are lying on a table during an LDCT scan to get precise images of your lungs. The scan is painless and just takes a few minutes.
