Low-cose CT lung scan
A low-dose computed tomography ( CT ) scan shows a 3-D image of the lungs that is clearer and more detailed than regular x - rays , allowing doctors to diagnose lung cancer at its earliest stage , before there are any symptoms . Lung cancer symptoms do not usually occur until the cancer is advanced and may include persistent cough , sputum streaked with blood , chest pain , voice change , worsening shortness of breath , and recurrent pneumonia or bronchitis .
The low-dose CT lung cancer scan has been shown to improve survival by 20 percent according to The National Lung Screening Trial ( NLST ) by the National Cancer Institute ( NCI ).
