This test
is used to detect early signs of lung disease and cancer
at a stage when treatment can be most successful. Highly
recommended for current and former smokers, or those
regularly exposed to second-hand smoke. It’s a far better
alternative then a chest X-ray for detecting lung cancer.
The lung
scan also looks for obstructive disease, such as emphysema
and chronic bronchitis, as well as nodules and masses.
Whether benign or malignant, these masses need to be
followed for changes in size or referred to a specialist.
In addition, the lung scan can identify Pleural disease
(e.g. asbestos exposure), hiatal hernias, thoracic spine
abnormalities and other conditions.
While lung
cancer is the leading cause of cancer related deaths in
both men and women, only 15% of lung cancer is caught in
the early stages. Lung cancer can be cured if it is
detected early and before too much harm has been done.
