A member asked:

My lung xray showed " a slightly dominant nodular debsity in the lower left lobe. close study reccomended in a few weeks..then it stated " no acute cardiopulmonary disease noted" . what is that?

Suspicious area: I would suggest BOTH a repeat chest xray and a CT scan of your lungs.

Heart ok: Cardiopulmonary disease refers to heart and lungs. Seems peculiar to say that nothing wrong with heart and lungs when he says there is a nodular density. Acute refers to something that happened recently.. Hope they find that nodule is not to worry. Best wishes
