CT scans and spiral CT scanning are emerging as one of the most promising tools in the early detection of lung cancer

CT Scans

 

Low-dose Spiral CT scans are emerging as one of the most promising tools for lung cancer scans. The spiral CT scan is a painless procedure in which a special computerized tomography imaging machine rotates rapidly around the body, taking over one hundred pictures in sequence. The scan is so sensitive that it's possible to detect nodules that are too small to be seen on a conventional x-ray, which make it an excellent tool in lung cancer screening.

As a result, people at high risk for lung cancer are keenly interested in this type of exam for early detection.

In fact a new study on CT scans and lung cancer conducted by the Early Lung Cancer Action Project, published in the July 1 issue of Cancer, offers new evidence that annual computed tomography screening for patients at high risk of lung cancer is cost-effective. The study found that, with repeat screenings, false positives were uncommon, and 83% of the lung cancers discovered were in the earliest, most curable stage.
