Why choose our Lung Health Check?
Our Lung Health Check is a streamlined, patient-focused service that combines cutting-edge diagnostics with expert consultation to deliver accurate results and actionable insights.
- Early detection: Identify potential lung conditions, including early signs of lung cancer, COPD, and other respiratory conditions.
- Rapid access: Complete your consultation, tests, and follow-up within a single day, minimising waiting times and visits — with same day test results available for most investigations.
- Personalised care: Receive tailored advice based on your risk factors, symptoms, and diagnostic results.
- Expert-led: Our multidisciplinary team, including respiratory consultants, radiologists, oncologists, and thoracic surgeon specialists, ensures you receive the highest standard of care.
Your CT scan will be reviewed by a specialist radiologist, and the results will be discussed with you during your follow-up consultation. Most patients receive their results the same day. You can also request a copy of your images from the radiology team.
The Lung Health Check is a fixed-price service at £1,395.
No, this service is only available as a self-pay option.
- You’ll lie on a table that moves through the CT scanner.
- The scan is painless and usually takes around 15 minutes, though you should allow 30-45 minutes for preparation and aftercare.
- You may be asked to hold your breath briefly during the scan to ensure clear images.
If your consultant determines that a CT scan isn’t necessary, the cost of the scan will be refunded to you.
If your results indicate a potential issue, your consultant will discuss the next steps with you, which may include further tests, treatment options, or referrals to other specialists within The London Clinic.
A CT (computed tomography) scan uses X-rays to create detailed images of the inside of your body. The scanner is a doughnut-shaped ring, and you’ll lie on a table that moves through the ring to capture images. CT scans are excellent for showing soft tissue, air, fluid, bone, and blood vessels, making them ideal for detecting lung abnormalities.
