LDCT screening can detect many small lung cancers before they are visible on a regular chest X-ray, increasing treatment options and survival rates. Does insurance cover this exam? As of February, 2015, Medicare covers LDCT Lung Cancer Screening for beneficiaries who meet the eligibility criteria listed below. We now offer CT Lung forms to simplify orders Who Should Be Screened? Based on these results, new national guidelines recommend annual CT Lung Cancer Screening for: Smokers age 55 to 77 years who have smoked for 30 pack years or more (Packyear smoking history is calculated by multiplying the number of years you have smoked by the number of packs you smoke a day).

Annual Screening Mammography Why start at age 40? Radiology Ltd. stands firmly behind its recommendations of annual mammography starting at age 40 to ensure the maximum benefit from screening mammography. Our guidelines are in accordance with the American College of Radiology and the Society for Breast Imaging. While both the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and American Cancer Society have revised their screening mammography guidelines, they state that starting annual mammography at age 40 saves the most lives. Radiology Ltd.’s local data from 2007-2014 shows that 14% of the cancers detected by a screening mammogram were in women ages 40-49, further supporting the start of screening mammograms at the age of 40. Additionally, 40% of the life years lost to breast cancer are in women diagnosed in their 40s.
