A member asked:
I had a cat scan today, i was sent home as dr said i was fine. but when i read my report it says:minimal pleural-based modularity right lower lobe?

Incidental finding: It probably says minimal pleural-based nodularity. This is likely an incidental finding of the ct scan that almost certainly is nothing to worry about in the long run. Having said that, many recommend followup imaging for these nodules in 3-6 months to make sure it is not growing. I would check with your physician what the appropriate followup, if any, is.
