First you will complete a specific lung-screening questionnaire. You will be asked to undress from the waist up and be given a gown to wear. A registered CT technologist will explain the procedure and you will be asked to lie down on the CT table. You will be asked to hold your breath while the table gently moves and simultaneously the images are taken. This part of the procedure takes about 60 seconds. The examination is completely painless and non-invasive. Your results will be sent to your referring physician within 24-48 hours of the exam being completed.
