About Lungscreen

Our Focus

Our Core Initiatives

1. Occupational Lung Disease Detection:

Tailored for high-risk industries like mining, construction, and manufacturing, our specialised programs are designed to detect occupational lung diseases such as silicosis, asbestosis, and coal workers’ pneumoconiosis at their earliest stages. Utilising advanced diagnostic technologies, including high-resolution CT scans and the latest in digital x-ray technology, combined with artificial intelligence technology and expert clinicians we identify signs of disease long before symptoms become apparent. This proactive approach allows for:

• Early Intervention: Immediate steps can be taken to modify work practices and implement medical treatments, which are far more effective at an early stage.
• Worker Education: Enhancing awareness among workers about the importance of early detection and preventive measures.
• Regulatory Compliance: Assisting companies in meeting health surveillance obligations to protect their workforce and avoid liabilities.

2. Lung Cancer Screening:

Our lung cancer screening program leverages low-dose computed tomography (LDCT), which has been proven to reduce lung cancer mortality among high-risk populations by as much as 20%. This program is particularly beneficial for smokers and long-term ex-smokers between the ages of 55 and 80. Key components of our program include:

• Comprehensive Risk Assessment: To identify individuals who would benefit most from screening, based on their smoking history, age, and other risk factors.
• Streamlined Screening Process: From the initial scan to diagnostic follow-up, our streamlined process ensures that any findings are rapidly and accurately assessed.
• Patient Support Services: Offering guidance and support through the screening process, and if needed, seamless referral to treatment services.

3. Lung Nodule Management:

The virtual Lung Nodule Clinic at Lungscreen Australia is at the forefront of managing incidental lung nodules detected during imaging procedures. Our approach minimises the risks associated with invasive diagnostics and surgeries by:

• Meticulous Tracking and Risk Assessment: Using sophisticated software tools to monitor nodule size and characteristics over time, aiding in determining the optimal moment for intervention if necessary.
  
• Multidisciplinary Team Review: Every case at Lungscreen Australia receives detailed attention from our thoracic radiologists, with complex cases further reviewed by a collaborative team of radiologists, pulmonologists, and thoracic surgeons. This ensures a comprehensive assessment and the development of a customised care plan, drawing on the collective expertise of our dedicated specialists.
  
• Our Technology and Expertise: At Lungscreen, our commitment to advanced technology and expert care underpins each of these initiatives. We employ state-of-the-art imaging equipment and cutting-edge data analytics to enhance diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes. Our team of healthcare professionals is continuously trained on the latest developments in lung health, ensuring that our services remain at the leading edge of medical practice.
