What does punctate adjacent calcification for a pulmonary nodule mean? i asked where it was and it's in the lower lobe and then they called it noncalcified. what does that mean? how could it change like that on the report?

Pulmonary nodule: Interpreting chest xrays is partly art, partly science. It's not always certain whether a spot is calcified or not. Calcified spots often indicate an older lesion, perhap a healed infection -- but not always. With or without calcification, if this is a new xray finding, additional testing likely will be necessary. Keep working with your doctor.
