Health Village Imaging offers Low-Dose CT Lung Cancer Screenings at three of our convenient locations: Manahawkin, Jackson, and Wall Circle Park.

According to the American Lung Association, New Jersey ranks seventeenth in the USA for new lung cancer cases. A low-dose CT Lung Cancer Screening can help detect lung cancer in its earliest stages. The key to beating any cancer is early detection.

A low-dose CT Lung Cancer Screening is an exam that uses x-rays to scan the entire chest in 5-10 seconds during a single breath-hold. The exam takes about 15 minutes, performed in a clean, comfortable outpatient setting.

Do you meet the criteria for a low-dose CT Lung Cancer Screening? This exam is for patients who are at high risk for lung cancer and who are

• 55 or older, with a 30+ pack-year history
• currently smoking or has quit within the last 15 years
• asymptomatic of lung cancer
• being treated for significant chest pain
• experiencing unintended weight loss, active pneumonia, or hemoptysis
