Lung cancer screening

In the radiology department, we offer lung cancer screening using low-dose computed tomography (low-dose CT) for smokers. This specialized procedure is designed to assess your individual risk of lung cancer and detect early changes in the lungs.

ALL INFORMATION AT A GLANCE

Technology

Cross-sectional images are produced using low-dose technology with our latest-generation CT scanner from Siemens. No intravenous or oral contrast agent is administered.

Safety

Minimisation of radiation exposure thanks to state-of-the-art technology and fast imaging.

Areas of application

Particularly suitable for smokers with an increased risk of developing lung cancer (bronchial carcinoma).

Image quality

Provides high-resolution, detailed cross-sectional images of the lungs without contrast medium.

Patient comfort

The examination takes place in a lying position and only takes 5 minutes.

Precision

Enables effective early detection and localization of foci in the lungs.
