Photon Counting CT

Our Siemens Force CT is a world-class CT scanner, capable of performing National Lung Cancer Screening Program (NLCSP) scans at a significantly lower dose than cheaper, inferior CT scanners used by other private practices in Western Sydney.  

We're capable of performing NLCSP scans at a dose lower than a standard Chest X-ray examination. A bold claim that we can back with evidence.

We use industry-leading Lung CAD (Computer-Aided Detection) that's clinically proven to improve the detection of lung nodules, compared to relying on human eyes alone. Our Lung CAD software not only detects nodules, but also provides the most accurate methods of measuring and detecting any changes in size over time (a key factor in determining the risk of nodules).

The first step is to speak to your GP about your interest in the National Lung Cancer Screening Program. Your GP will assess your clinical history and confirm your suitability for the screening program.

If you meet the criteria, you'll be given an imaging request form and you can call or book online for your NLCSP scan at a time convenient for you. You must provide Superscan with your request form.

You do not need to fast for this scan.

All NLCSP scans will be reviewed and reported by Specialist Doctors and we'll send a copy of the results to you, your Doctor and to the National Cancer Screening Register (NCSR) so that you can receive appropriate advice on any recommended follow-ups.
