What is a lung screening CT?
Read by board-certified, fellowship-trained radiologists.
A lung screening CT is a quick, low-dose chest scan that produces detailed cross-sectional images of your lungs. It can reveal nodules just a few millimeters across, years before they would ever cause symptoms. Repeated annually, it lets radiologists compare studies over time and act on the smallest changes.
National guidelines recommend annual screening for current and former smokers because catching lung cancer at stage one dramatically improves outcomes. Importantly, this is a screening test for people who feel well, not a diagnostic scan for active symptoms. If you're coughing, short of breath, or in pain, our Glendale team will help arrange the right diagnostic study instead.
