Yes, this was very helpful Doctor. I am a longtime, heavy smoker for more than 40 years now. I know this is really bad for my health and will try to quit before it is too late!🫣 I live in Ontario, Canada and I guess a LDCT scan is done by a regular CT scan machine or is this a special device? I would have to look into where there is one in the region I live. I will definitely get this done. Thank you so much for this video….God Bless🙏🏼🍀👋🏼🇨🇦
