Do you have 15 minutes to spare? That’s all it takes to check in on one of the most important organs in your body. Lung cancer is one of the deadliest cancers in the U.S., not because it’s untreatable, but because it’s usually caught too late. By the time symptoms show up, the disease has often spread. But with a quick, non-invasive low-dose CT (LDCT) lung scan, we can detect potential problems before they become life-threatening.

At Life Guard Imaging of Phoenix, we believe in giving you options, not outcomes. Early detection is where we can make the biggest difference.

Why a Low-Dose CT Scan Is So Powerful

A low-dose CT scan takes a series of detailed images of your lungs, allowing us to spot even the tiniest abnormality. You lie down. The scanner passes over your body. No injections, no sedation, no claustrophobia, and it’s all over in minutes. What makes this test so effective?

• It catches nodules early, often years before they become symptomatic.
• It operates silently in the background of your life, while you’re still feeling fine.
• It improves survival odds dramatically. When lung cancer is caught at Stage 1, survival rates can exceed 90%. Wait until symptoms show up, and that number drops fast.

Who Should Be Thinking About Lung Screening?

You don’t need a referral. You just need to know your risk and be proactive. A lung screening CT scan is especially recommended for:

• Adults 50 to 80 years old.
• Current or former smokers (who quit within the past 15 years).
• People with a 20 pack-year smoking history (that’s one pack a day for 20 years, or two packs a day for 10).
• Anyone with significant exposure to secondhand smoke, radon, or other environmental toxins.



If that’s you (or someone you love), then it’s time to stop wondering and start knowing.

It’s Fast, Easy, and Worth It

There’s no long prep. You don’t need someone to drive you home. You can get scanned on your lunch break and go right back to your day. Peace of mind doesn’t have to be complicated—it just has to be available. That’s what Life Guard Imaging offers. We’re here for people who believe that prevention is power. Those who don’t want to wait until something feels wrong to check if something is wrong. Those who want to know, not guess.

Lung cancer doesn’t have to be a silent killer. Not anymore. With a low-dose CT scan, you have the chance to rewrite the story: early and confidently. You don’t need to wait for symptoms.
