Questions About CT Lung Screening?

Request a Call From an Imaging Specialist 

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. As with many other types of cancer, when found early, lung cancer can be highly curable.

South Shore Health System offers screening with low-dose computed tomography (CT) — the only recommended screening for people at high risk for lung cancer.  

All health plans cover lung cancer screenings for individuals who meet the following criteria:

• Must be between 55-77 years old
• A current smoker or quit in the past 15 years
• Smoked at least a pack of cigarettes a day for 30+ years
• No history of cancer within the past five years
• Documented lung cancer screening counseling with your health care provider
