The only recommended screening test for lung cancer is low-dose computed tomography (also called a low-dose CT scan, or LDCT). During an LDCT scan, you lie on a table and an X-ray machine uses a low dose (amount) of radiation to make detailed images of your lungs. The scan only takes a few minutes and is not painful.
Radiation Risk
The Low-Dose computed tomography scan exposes patients to a low dose of radiation, however, this radiation is not harmful enough to result in the adverse effects of radiation.
