A member asked:
I also have another question what about ground glass opacity in the lung with mild atelectatic change is that good or bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither: good nor bad per se. The atelectatic change may be simply incidental and of little or no significance. There are a number of causes of ground glass opacity, and this could represent a significant finding, so best bet is to discuss the findings with your doc.
