ct- nodular density changes
i just obtained the results from a CT scan ( i am 3 years NED lung cancer) results state... 8x4 mm nodular density in the right midlung, slightly increased in size from previous exam. suggest correlation.what does that mean? i wasnt aware of any nodular desnity issues let alone changes!
thank you for your responce.. i have seen my onc. and internest. both agree that it is sooo small. we are going to do another ct in jan. i'm ok w/ that as long as someone has my back and we don't let it slip.they both said it would be hard to biosy because its so small and a pet might not help. well see.

Hi,
How are you? Nodular density may refer to old lesions from infection or inflammation and sometimes from an artifact. However, if there is a slight increase in size from the previous result, it is best that you check with your doctor and discuss the results with him or her. Correlation with present symptoms is important in determining the cause. Take care an do keep us posted.
