A member asked:
Can you explain results of chest x-ray led 2 cat scan, which led 2 pet scan. results are multiple nodules. what causes lung nodules?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple: There are many causes for pulmonary nodules, which can be broken down into benign or malignant. There are a large number of causes for benign nodules, and 95% of nodules seen on CT scan are benign. If the nodule is large enough, a biopsy may be recommended. The initial move is to see if the same mass was present on a previous scan. PET scans are used to add information, but should not be done firs
