Diagnostic Imaging - Ontario Lung Screening Program (OLSP)

Province-wide initiative aimed at identifying cancer early among individuals at high risk of lung cancer. This life-saving initiative was designed to detect lung cancer at its earliest stages when treatment is most effective * through low-dose CT (computed tomography) scans, the program helps detect lung cancer before symptoms appear, improving outcomes and survival rates * Osler is providing access to high-quality screening services for eligible individuals in the community

• Initial Assessment: the team will review the referral and contact the patient to schedule an initial assessment
• Screening: Patient to attend the scheduled low-dose CT scan at the screening site
• Follow-up: depending on the results, the patient may receive follow-up care or recommendations for future screenings
