CT Lung Cancer Screening
Our CT Lung Cancer Screening uses a low radiation dose CT technique to search for lung nodules that may represent early lung cancer, especially in people who are current or former smokers. Detecting lung cancer at an earlier stage can be life-saving. This is a private, self-pay service and is not covered by OHIP. Patients aged 55–80 with a ≥20 pack-year smoking history are not eligible for private pay screening.
