What is a Lung Cancer Screening?

At Medical Imaging of Fredericksburg, we offer a low-dose CT screening that can detect lung cancer at an earlier, more treatable stage. The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force recommends yearly lung cancer screening with a low-dose CT scan for people who:

  • Have a 20 pack-year or more smoking history, and

  • Smoke now or have quit within the past 15 years, and

  • Are between 50 and 80 years old

What Can I Expect?


Our low-dose CT lung cancer screening is non-invasive and does not require the injection or ingestion of contrast dyes. This screening is quick and painless, with patients only required to hold their breath for 5-10 seconds during the scan to create a clearer image of the lungs.

How Can I Prepare?

  • Avoid wearing jewelry or clothes with metal fasteners and zippers

  • You may be asked to wear a gown
