A member asked:
Ground-glass opacities in the lung, should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Process in Evolution: GGO in the lung is usually a process that is evolving and may represent resolving infection but can also represent a neoplasm or tumor in its earliest stages. It must be evaluated and followed very closely with high resolution non-contrast CT scans every 3-6 months, depending on the clinical situation.
