Taking care of your health means staying ahead of potential problems before they start. If you’ve ever worried about your lung or heart health—whether for yourself or a loved one—you’re not alone.
Much like a mammogram or colonoscopy, chest screenings detect issues early, when they are most treatable. The Temple Healthy Chest Initiative makes it easy to take control of your health with a quick scan that can uncover signs of lung disease, heart conditions, and more—often before symptoms appear. Scheduling a screening for early detection is a powerful step toward protecting your future.

Scheduling a screening for early detection is a powerful step toward protecting your future.
The Temple Healthy Chest Initiative uses a special type of scan called a low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) scan to detect lung nodules, conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), coronary artery calcification and other heart diseases, sleep apnea, problems in the esophagus, and more. This means one simple, 10 minute screening can give you a clearer picture of your overall chest health.
