A member asked:
Noncontrast ct images demonstrate mild ground-glass attenuation atelectasis in the lungs. what is this and does it require further attention?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ground glass pulm CT: It is a non-specific finding which means something has replaced the air in the alveoli, pneumonia-related or a more chronic process. 60-80% have an active potentially treatable dx. Please see your physician for a more-detailed explanation of the results of the scan and ,referral to a specialty consultant, if necessary. http://www.radiologyassistant.nl/en/p42d94cd0c326b#i4563548664b88
