Everything you need to know about lung screenings.
Lung screenings are non-invasive tests that use low-dose radiation to take pictures of your lungs. With these images, our team can detect any harmful tumors or nodules found on your lungs. Here's some additional insights about the screening:
- The entire screening is quick and easy—taking about 20 minutes to complete.
- The process is completely painless—no needles or injections are involved!
- If you meet the criteria, lung screenings are covered by most insurance plans.
- At Virtua, we offer reduced rates for those without insurance coverage.
- Offered at multiple convenient locations in South Jersey.
