Hi, will a ct scan show mold in your lungs or just scar tissue? i was exposed to black mold for a year. i'm still sick a year and a half later.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ct scan: A lung CT scan can not show mold of other infectious agents but can show scarring or other changes resulting from inflammation possibly caused by infection.
