A member asked:

Clear ct 4 months ago, ct last week suspicious for lung cancer. does this mean that it is quick growing? had symptoms year ago, why initial clear cts?

Why was it repeated : Uncertain why the CT was negative and then positive. Had your pulmonologist suggested a high-resolution CT . The differences maybe the quality of the initial interpretation . You couldn’t ask for a second opinion on both CTs
