- CT Lung Cancer Screenings - Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related
deaths for men and women in the United States.
Often with no symptoms, most lung cancer is
discovered after it is well advanced. Saint
Joseph’s Hospital now offers spiral
slice CT scans to detect early stage lung
cancer. The scan is quick, painless
and requires no contrast dyes. The
cost is $325.00 cash, check, credit card (not
covered by insurance). If you are concerned
about lung cancer risk, please call 404-851-5175,
or email canscreen@sjha.org for
an appointment. Click

the CT lung cancer screening process.
- CT Colonography - The minimally-invasive CT colonography has been recommended by the American Cancer Society as a screening option for colon cancer and also for those patients who have previously had an ‘incomplete colonoscopy’ or for other reasons, those who are not good candidates for an invasive colonoscopy. Visit the Digestive Disease Center for more information.
