Lung Health Screening & Diagnostics

Early Detection is Our Priority

Screening high-risk patients for lung nodules can help the physicians and patients look for signs of lung cancer before symptoms occur. The goal of screening is to detect the disease early in its course when it is easier to treat. We use low-dose CT scans to screen for lung cancer and other lung diseases.

Lung Care to Help You Breath Easy

Chesapeake Regional Healthcare brings together a multi-disciplinary group of clinicians and advanced diagnostics in one comfortable setting.

From CT scans to smoking cessation and prevention to thoracic surgery, our highly skilled physicians and provide the highest quality, most cost-effective thoracic and lung health care.

Lung Cancer Screening

Low-dose CT scans for eligible patients are now an approved annual test to detect lung cancer early. Research shows that more than 80% of lung cancers can be cured if they are detected early enough. Lung cancer screening is the only way to ensure early detection of the disease—other symptoms often show up too late. To schedule an appointment, call 757-312-3012.
