Take a Proactive Approach to Lung Health

Lung cancer is often difficult to detect in its earliest stages because symptoms may not appear until the disease has progressed. Lung cancer screening can help identify potential concerns before symptoms develop, giving patients and healthcare providers valuable information for making informed treatment decisions.

At XRANM in Farmington, we provide advanced lung cancer screening services using state-of-the-art imaging technology to support early detection and better health outcomes for patients throughout Farmington and the Four Corners region.

What Is Lung Cancer Screening?

Lung cancer screening is an imaging exam designed to evaluate the lungs for signs of cancer or other abnormalities before symptoms appear. For individuals who are considered at higher risk, screening can help detect lung cancer at an earlier stage when treatment options may be more effective.

Advanced imaging technology allows radiologists to identify small lung nodules and abnormalities that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Who May Benefit from Lung Cancer Screening?

Lung cancer screening may be recommended for individuals who:

  • Are between 50 and 80 years of age
  • Currently smoke or have a history of smoking
  • Have a significant tobacco use history
  • Quit smoking within the past 15 years
  • Have other risk factors associated with lung cancer

Your healthcare provider can help determine whether screening is appropriate based on your medical history and individual risk factors.

Benefits of Lung Cancer Screening

Early Detection

Finding lung cancer before symptoms develop may increase treatment options and improve outcomes.

Advanced Imaging Technology

Modern imaging systems provide highly detailed views of the lungs, helping physicians evaluate abnormalities with greater confidence.

03

Quick and Non-Invasive

The screening process is painless, requires no surgery, and can typically be completed in a short appointment.

04

Peace of Mind

Screening provides valuable information about your lung health and can help you make informed decisions about future care.

What to Expect During Your Screening Appointment

The screening process is straightforward and comfortable. During the exam, you will lie on a scanning table while detailed images of your lungs are captured.

Most appointments are completed within 20 minutes, and patients can return to their normal daily activities immediately afterward.

Understanding Your Results

After your screening, a board-certified radiologist will review the images and provide a detailed report to your healthcare provider.

If any abnormalities are detected, your provider may recommend additional imaging, follow-up screenings, or further evaluation. Many findings identified during screening are not cancerous and simply require monitoring over time.
