dear sir .
is there in this world a way to check the lungs without ct? a screening test ? i have a friend who unfortunatlly has a lung carcinoid , which was found after ten years , because the x rays didnt show anything clear , and she was not sent to ct because of radiation . its amazing that with the advanced medicine we have, there is no possibility to have a undemaging screening method for checking the lungs ? or is there one and i dont know ?
thanks alot . shira .

thanks for the renaming . but the new name might lead to an answer of a test of injection of a radioactive substance for mapping the lungs which can not be indicated as a screening method for whoever wants to check his lungs on a regular basis . like other screening methods for other organs . can US be usefull in screeing lungs ?
