Trumbull Regional Medical Center is now offering a GPS-like technology to detect the early stages of Lung cancer.

The new SPiN Thoracic Navigation System uses electromagnetic navigation to find hard-to-access nodules to detect cancer. 

"We use this as mapping software to guide us where to go from the target that we saw from the Cat scan," said Dr. Manuel Bautista, Medical Director for Critical Care at TRMC.

A CT scan can be paired up to the SPiN Thoracic Navigation System and from there, a blue line show navigates doctors to the area of concern. 

Lung cancer screening guidelines have recently dropped in age to 50 and up to qualify for the screening. 

Anyone with a smoking history may be a candidate for the lung cancer screening.

Also, you must not have any symptoms of lung cancer at the time and have to have smoked about 20 pack years.

A pack-year is how many cigarettes you smoke in a day by how many years you have done it.
