The American Lung Association has introduced an online tool to help users determine whether they're candidates for low-dose CT lung cancer screening.

The online tool -- located at LungCancerScreeningSavesLives.org -- asks visitors a series of questions to help determine whether they meet the guidelines for lung cancer screening, according to the association.
