Lung Cancer Screening

Screening is a test used to detect lung cancer before any symptoms appear. Screening with low-dose CT (LDCT) scans can reduce deaths among those at high risk. The test is not recommended for everyone and it has risks as well as benefits.

You may notice that NMC no longer shields patients’ organs during imaging exams. Based on over 70 years of research, medical experts now know that the one of the best ways to keep patients safe during imaging exams is not to use shields. Click here for a brochure with more information.
