Lung Screening

Program

Lung screenings can detect the possibility for cancer and lung disease at an early stage, when it’s most treatable.

At NCS, our lung screening program provides a comprehensive, personalized experience for patients combining a low-dose CT scan of the lungs along with detailed plan outlined by a certified lung health navigator.  Consider a lung screening today in order to remain healthy and active.

What is a low-dose CT scan?

A low-dose CT scan uses minimal radiation to produce detailed images of the lungs in order to spot cancer and lung disease. The scan is non-invasive and is done in less than 30 minutes.
