Before the Scan

A little preparation goes a long way in making sure your scan is as seamless and simple as possible. Luckily, there’s no need to fast or follow any special diet. Just show up as you are, ready to prioritize your lung health!

• Dress for Comfort:Choose loose-fitting clothes without metal buttons, wires or zippers. We’ll provide you with a gown to change into, ensuring a hassle-free experience.
• Share Your Story:Let us know about any respiratory issues, allergies, or previous lung conditions. The more we know, the better we can tailor your scan and interpret the results.

During the Scan

A lung scan is so much simpler than you might think. Here’s what to expect during the scan:

• Lie Back and Relax:You’ll be comfortably positioned on a table that slides into the CT scanner. Our friendly technologist will guide you through every step, ensuring you feel at ease.
• Hold Your Breath Briefly:You’ll be asked to hold your breath for a few seconds while the scanner captures images. It’s a quick and painless process, and our team is there to support you.
• No Needles or Dyes:Our lung scans are non-invasive, so no needles or contrast dyes are involved. It’s a simple, safe, and efficient way to get a detailed look at your lungs.

After the Scan

Your lung scan is complete! Here’s what to expect afterwards:

• Resume Normal Activity:There’s no recovery time needed after a lung scan. You can head back to your daily routine, feeling empowered by your proactive approach to health.
• Expert Analysis:Our board-certified radiologists will meticulously analyze your scan, looking for any signs of lung cancer, infections, or other abnormalities.
• Clear Communication:We’ll provide you with a detailed report and discuss the results with you if follow up is needed, ensuring you understand your lung health and any next steps.

Our Lung Scans Offer a Comprehensive Lung Assessment.

Lung cancer is often called the “silent killer” because it can develop without noticeable symptoms. Our lung scans can detect lung cancer in its earliest stages, when treatment is most effective, dramatically increasing your chances of a positive outcome.

But our lung scans go beyond cancer detection. We can also identify other lung conditions, like emphysema, infections, and nodules. This comprehensive assessment helps you and your doctor create a personalized plan to protect your lung health.
