A member asked:
Chest xray showed pulmonary fibrosis and a nodule on the lower lobe. can i do mri instead of ct scan. trying to avoid radiation ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Imaging: A high resolution fast chest CT used for screening would be a better choice in this case. In addition, a thorough review of your clinical risk factors may be completed by your pulmonologist online and also by a virtual appointment with Healthtap. Avoid smoking, smoke and if the nodule is small and has non concerning characteristics on CT, it may be followed without removal.
