An important and potentially lifesaving test for current and former smokers
The low-dose CT lung screening program at Expert MRI is designed to detect lung cancer early, at a time when more treatment options exist and the greater the opportunity for a successful outcome.
Studies have shown that when current and former smokers are screened with CT, deaths from lung cancer are reduced by 20%.
Low-dose CT lung screening (LDCT) is a special protocol that Expert MRI uses to ensure the lowest possible radiation dose during the screening process.
How do I know if I’m eligible for lung screening?
In California, anyone can have a lung screening if they believe they are at risk.Expert MRI offers this test for a very reasonable cash-pay price.
For the test to be covered by insurance or Medicare, you must meet the following criteria:
- 50-77 years of age
- No signs or symptoms of lung cancer
- 20-pack years or greater of tobacco smoking (cigar and non-cigarette smokers are not eligible)
- Current smokers or those who quit smoking within the last 15 years, AND
- Written order for Low Dose Lung CT Screening from a qualified health professional following a lung cancer screening counseling that attests to shared decision-making having taken place before their first screening CT
If you meet these criteria, talk to your doctor about obtaining a referral for LDCT lung screening. If you do not meet the criteria, but still feel you are at risk, Expert MRI offers this test for a low cash price. Please call us for details.
Don’t wait… talk to your doctor or call us today!
If you’re a current or former smoker, a low-dose lung screening can save your life. Call us for more information at (877) 674-8888 or email referrals@expertmri.com.
