A member asked:
If findings in a ct scan is described by term "non specific".does it mean what is found is not a cause of concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It means: There's something there but it can't be linked to anything specific. It may be of no concern, but without seeing the images/report and knowing your history, there's no way to tell.
