A member asked:
Ct scan findings - atelactasis at lingula and middle lobe. is this a concern. i got no history of asthma.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Atelectasis: Atelectasis itself is not much of a concern. It is a medical term that means your lung/airspaces were not fully inflated during the time the CT scan was taken. It can show up in many disease states (more than just asthma) but it can show up incidentally in healthy individuals that have no symptoms. We can give you a more personalized answer to what it may mean for you if we have more info. Thanks!
