Low-Dose CT Lung Screening (LDCT)
A quick, low-radiation chest CT scan that provides high-resolution 3D cross-sectional images of your lungs to detect early-stage nodules or tissue changes long before symptoms appear.

-
High Environmental Exposure: Anyone frequently exposed to secondhand smoke, air pollution, cooking oil fumes, or industrial dust.
