A member asked:

On the lung windows might be 1 or 2 minute lung nodular densities, below the resolution of pet. what does this mean? see pet results for further info.

Lung Densities: If the nodule(s) was (were) small ( like<5 mm) they are likely benign (like calcifications or scars). Pet scans are, at best, 70% concordant with lesions of this size. Moreover, pet scans can only "see" metabolically active lesions, and really can't see tiny nodules very well at all. I can't read the report since you're not my "patient, " but it sounds like you have an " indeterminate" nodule.

Talk with your doc: This is a very specific question and unfortunately there isn't enough information to answer it correctly. You should see your doctor for a specific answer about the pet scan results.
