Most likely the CT is more accurate. If you are a smoker, please enroll in a smoking cessation program. Multiple areas of modularity often represent infection or resolving infection. Consult with your physician regarding risk factors such as a family history of lung disease. Watch for signs of fever,cough and sputum production.

yes - there are several causes for an apparent nodule on a chest x-ray. CT is the definitive test, so you can rest assured you are fine.
