FollowAdviceOf MD: although nodules less than 10 mm are not biopsied and it is usual to repeat CAT Scan to see if it goes away.But in this case it seems to have grown bigger and there is another nodule in the rt lung.I don't know if the CAT Scan was done with contrast as well.In this case I will follow the advice of your MD or Pulmonologist as biopsy may be indicated especially if you had history of smoking in past
