Designated Lung Cancer Screening Center
If you’re at risk for lung cancer, we offer low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening — the only recommended screening test for early detection of lung cancer. Low doses of radiation are used to create detailed images of your lungs. To be screened, you’ll need a referral from your primary care provider. Medicare and most private insurance plans cover LDCT screening.
