Lung Cancer Screening – Low Dose CT Chest
What is the National Lung Cancer Screening Program?
The National Lung Cancer Screening Program (NLCSP) is a government-funded initiative aimed at detecting lung cancer early — when it’s most treatable. It uses a low-dose CT (LDCT) chest scan, a fast and painless imaging test that can identify small nodules or abnormalities in the lungs before symptoms appear.
Low-Dose CT with Advanced Imaging Precision
At Link Radiology, we use the latest low-dose CT technology to capture high-resolution images of the lungs while minimising radiation exposure. Our experienced radiologists carefully assess the results to detect even subtle changes, helping ensure early and accurate diagnosis.
Safe, Fast and Bulk Billed for Eligible Patients
Low-dose CT is non-invasive, takes only a few minutes, and is completely bulk billed for patients who meet the program’s eligibility criteria. The procedure uses significantly less radiation than a standard CT scan, while still delivering detailed images for effective screening.
Who Should Get Screened?
The National Lung Cancer Screening Program (NLCSP) is designed for people at high risk of developing lung cancer. You may be eligible if you're aged 50 to 70, are a current smoker or quit within the past 7 years, have a smoking history of 30 pack-years or more, and hold a valid Medicare card. Speak to your GP to assess your eligibility and request a referral.
