A member asked:
Few fibrotic densities at the lung apices on low dose ct scan. what does it mean? i've never had any kind of lung disease
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fibrosis: These strands of fibrous tissue represent scarring from a prior inflammatory process, probably old infection and could have been an old tuberculosis infection which you fought off. There is no sign of active lung infection. For more opinion the radiologist or a pulmonologist could be consulted.
