RadNet launches free lung cancer screening program for Los Angeles firefighters

RadNet is providing free low-dose CT lung cancer screening for up to 2,000 Los Angeles firefighters who faced carcinogen exposure during the Palisades Fire; over 200 were screened in a soft launch last June.

• Exams are interpreted by fellowship-trained radiologists with pulmonary imaging expertise, and abnormal findings trigger personalized follow-up guidance.
• The initiative targets first responders exposed to smoke, carcinogens, and hazardous materials, aiming to detect lung cancer early when most treatable.
