Westchester Medical Center offers
Early Lung Cancer Detection to
High Risk Patients
Lung cancer screening with computed
tomography (CT) helps detect lung cancer
at an early stage when it can be removed
completely and cured. The Westchester
Medical Center (WMC) lung cancer
screening program offers high quality
imaging with advanced CT
equipment. Our program includes a
subspecialty-trained, board-certified
thoracic radiologist, pulmonologists,
oncologists, radiation oncologist and
thoracic surgeons based at WMC.

Will I be exposed to radiation?
Yes, CT requires the use of x-rays to generate
images. Low- dose screening CT at WMC uses
approximately 20% of the radiation dose used
for an average diagnostic chest CT.
Can I get a lung cancer screening CT
without a provider’s order?
No, New York State law requires a provider referral
for CT lung cancer screening. If you do not have
a provider, our CT lung cancer screening program
navigator will be able to help.
How will I be informed of the results?
Your screening CT will be interpreted by experienced,
board-certified radiologists. A letter with results will
be mailed to you. The full report will be sent to your
provider, who will then discuss the result with you.
If an abnormality is found,
does it mean I have cancer?
Not necessarily. Small nodules and other
abnormalities are found in about one in five screening
CT scans, but most of these turn out to be benign —
not cancer. Additional tests, most commonly followup
scans, may be necessary to separate these
incidental nodules from early cancers.
What makes the lung cancer
screening program at WMC better
than others in the area?
The WMC Lung Cancer Screening Program offers
a dedicated nurse practitioner who will help you
walk through the entire process of screening, as well as a subspecialty-trained, board-certified thoracic
radiologist, pulmonologists, oncologists, radiation
oncologists, thoracic surgeons, and advanced CT equipment.
