LungScan (Lung Nodule Detection)

  • More than 50% of those newly diagnosed with lung cancer are FORMER smokers or those who have never smoked
  • Each year lung cancer kills more people than colon, prostate and breast cancer combined
  • Waiting for symptoms of lung cancer (cough, weight loss, etc.) is usually too late... get a LungScan to find it a treatable stage
  • Women are genetically more susceptible to lung cancer after cigarette smoking than men... It may develop at an earlier age and with less cigarettes in women.
  • A highly advanced LungScan provides a detailed visualization of the lungs in order for radiologists to detect lung cancer at an early stage. This is usually undetectable by an ordinary chest x-ray. The lung scan can also detect other lung damage such as emphysema from smoking or lung scarring from prior infection.

    This screening is designed for smokers, ex-smokers, chronic bronchitis and emphysema sufferers and those exposed to second hand smoke.

    This procedure takes less than 5 minutes and does not use injections or dyes.
