Essential Lung Health Screening
Who Is this test recommended for?
This program is designed to detect underlying respiratory abnormalities, asthma, and airway diseases that may not be identified through a chest X-ray alone. It is particularly suitable for individuals who have risk factors or suggestive symptoms of respiratory conditions.
- Individuals with chronic respiratory symptoms – Those experiencing a persistent cough lasting more than 1–2 months, shortness of breath during physical activity, or wheezing.
- Individuals regularly exposed to air pollution or environmental irritants – Who live or work in areas with high levels of PM2.5, who are exposed to secondhand smoke, or frequently come into contact with chemicals or airborne pollutants.
- Individuals with allergies or suspected asthma – Who frequently experience coughing at night, recurrent wheezing, or respiratory symptoms triggered by changes in weather or environmental conditions.
- Current or former smokers – Individuals with a history of smoking who may be at increased risk of developing chronic respiratory diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other smoking-related lung conditions.
