Your lung specialist partner
High quality imaging and accurate reporting
Chest Scan works closely with trusted radiology providers, offering high-quality chest and lung scans and expert subspecialty reporting.
Using the latest technology, our team ensures your reports are accurate, timely, and easy to understand.
Our partnerships mean your patients get the care they need, when they need it — with a focus on comfort, clarity, and the best possible health outcomes.
Screening Pathway
Chest Scan has been designed to support referrers in helping their patients access the lung cancer screening they need.
GP Assessment
Assess the eligbility of your patients for the National Lung Cancer Screening Program. If eligible refer your patient for a low-dose chest CT through one of our radiology partners.
Imaging
Patients book a low-dose chest CT scan directly through one of our imaging partners. Their scan will be bulk billed.
Results Sent
Our radiology partners will send you a structured radiology report (Standardised Volumetric Doubling Time (VDT) monitoring is used). Initial and subsequent scans will be reported using PanCan Nodule Management Protocol.
Follow Up Scans
The National Cancer Screening Register will not hold scan images, but will provide patients with reminders. Consistent use of the same radiology provider is good practice to ensure accurate and comparable data over time.
Our Radiology Partners
Expert care, accessibly delivered
Chest Scan has partnered with expert radiology providers across Australia to ensure lung cancer screening is accessible to those who need it.
Our partnerships provide you dedicated chest subspecialty radiology support to detect and diagnose lung cancers earlier when more treatment options are available.
Our Reporting
Accurate results, quick turnaround
Using the latest low-dose CT technology and supported by chest subspecialty radiologists, our radiology partners can ensure timely, safe, and accurate reporting.
For the National Lung Cancer Screening Program, our radiology partners will provide a structured report from a chest subspecialty radiologist using Volumetric Doubling Time (VDT) monitoring. Initial and subsequent scans will be reported using the PanCan Nodule Malignancy Risk Calculator to determine the malignancy risk for a particular nodule.
To access your patient’s images and report, please follow the usual process through the associated imaging partner.

Nodule Management Protocol
The PanCan Nodule Malignancy Risk Calculator is a validated and evidence based volumetric software tool, which optimises selection of low-risk and high-risk patients at baseline, to determine their % malignancy risk for that nodule.
You will be alerted to your patient’s categorisation in their radiologist report and can refer them for the necessary subsequent scans.
Because of Chest Scan’s network across Australia, you can refer to any of our radiology partners to ensure comparison between all images to ensure accuracy and a deeper understanding of your patient’s lungs.
