Things to do before your scan


Get a low-dose computed tomography (CT) scan referral from your doctor.

Ask your doctor where lung cancer screening is offered in your area.

If you have not had a CT scan before, discuss any concerns with your doctor.

Book your scan online, by telephone or in person. Let them know you are taking part in the lung cancer screening program.

Make sure you take your referral and Medicare card for your scan appointment.

Wear comfortable clothing. You may need to change into a gown for the scan.

Plan to remove any jewellery before you go for your scan. This includes rings, watches, necklaces and any piercings. Otherwise, you will be asked to remove them at the scan.

Let the clinic know in advance if you need help getting changed into a gown or onto the table for the scan.

Plan to take a friend or family member with you if you would like to do so.
