\n <\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\nIf you are eligible or think you may be at risk for lung cancer, talk to your doctor to determine if screening is right for you.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n <\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\nIt\u2019s common to feel some anxiety or fear before your LDCT scan, but don\u2019t let these feelings stop you from getting a scan that could help your health. If you are experiencing any of these feelings, support is available. Talk to your doctor about any questions you may have. They can discuss your
concerns with you and help make you feel more comfortable.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n \n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n <\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n \n\nBefore entering the scan, you will be asked to remove any metal you are wearing, like jewelry, watches, etc.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \n \n\n \n\n \n <\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n \n\nYou may be asked to wear a hospital gown, depending on the facility.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \n \n\n \n\n \n <\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n \n\nDuring an LDCT scan, you lie on a table and an X-ray machine takes pictures
of your lungs. It only takes a few minutes and is not painful.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \n \n\n \n\n \n <\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n \n\nThe person facilitating the scan will be there to guide you through the process.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n \n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n <\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n \n\nAfter your scan, the images from the scan will be reviewed by a doctor who specializes in reading these scans. Your doctor will contact you with the results and discuss recommendations for any next steps.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \n \n\n \n\n \n <\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n \n\nIt is possible you may need additional follow-up. Sometimes screening will find irregularities in the lungs or nearby organs and additional tests will be needed.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \n \n\n \n\n \n <\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n \n\nIf your screening is abnormal, make sure to speak with your doctor to discuss next steps and follow up tests.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n \n \n\n \n\n \n <\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n \n\nIt is possible you may need additional follow-up. Sometimes screening will find irregularities in the lungs or nearby organs and additional tests will be needed.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
