Low-Dose CT Scan

A low-dose CT scan is a medical imaging test that uses X-rays to create detailed pictures of the inside of your body with less radiation than a standard CT scan. It’s often used for lung health screening, especially for detecting early signs of lung cancer. Because it exposes you to less radiation, it’s safer for regular screening purposes. The scan involves lying still while the machine rotates around you, capturing cross-sectional images. These images help doctors identify problems like tumors or infections earlier, improving treatment options and outcomes while minimizing radiation exposure.
