The Lung Cancer Screening is a low-dose CT scan (computed tomography) which is a type of imaging. The scan covers the entire chest and provides a more detailed look than a standard chest X-ray. The exam takes about 15 minutes in total, with the actual scan lasting only 5 to 10 seconds.
Scientists study screening tests to find those with the fewest risks and most benefits. They look at results over time to see if finding the cancer early decreases one's chances of dying from the disease. Three such screening tests include: 1  Chest x-ray: A plain x-ray of your chest.2  An x-ray of the organs and bones inside the chest. 3  Chest x-ray is no longer recommended for screening. Lung cancer screening can help find lung cancer at an early stage when it is easier to treat. 2  At this time, studies have shown that low-dose spiral CT scan is the only lung cancer screening tool that reduces the risk of dying from lung cancer. 3  Lung cancer screening is not right for everyone.
