Lung cancer screening with a CT scan

• It is a lung cancer screening that uses a small amount of radiation and uses a 3D imaging method that provides more resolution than a normal X-ray. It can see lesions or small nodules that cannot be seen on a normal X-ray to help detect lung cancer accurately. Therefore, it helps detect it early and, of course, can help reduce the mortality rate from lung cancer.
