Getting screened for lung cancer is a quick and easy annual process for those who are eligible.
The scan itself takes less than three minutes and requires no special preparation. During the exam, you’ll lie on a table while the imaging specialist uses a low-dose CT scanner to examine your chest and upper abdomen for any spots suspicious for lung cancer.
Indiana’s first mobile lung screening program is bringing life-saving early detection directly to communities across the state. Housed in a 40-foot truck equipped with a CT scanner, the program makes lung screening more convenient and accessible for Hoosiers who need it most. This effort is powered by a transformative $4.5 million gift from the Tom and Julie Wood Family Foundation, with matching support from Indiana University Health.
See just how fast, simple, and potentially life-saving lung cancer screening can be. No hospital visit just a few minutes that could save your life.
