Evaluate your lung health

A simple guide to understand whether it may be worth discussing low-dose CT for early lung cancer detection or to estimate the risk of a pulmonary nodule already found on CT.

This is educational guidance. It does not diagnose cancer and does not replace medical assessment.

Could a preventive CT help you?

Early detection and pulmonary nodules are different questions

Early lung cancer detection is intended for people at increased risk who do not have warning symptoms. A nodule already detected on CT is assessed according to its size, type, location, borders, growth and the patient’s clinical context.

Warning symptoms: coughing up blood, unexplained weight loss, persistent chest pain, or significant new shortness of breath require diagnostic medical evaluation rather than a preventive screening pathway.
