A member asked:

I quit smoking over 15+ years ago but am scheduled for my yearly low dosage ct lung scan. am very anxious. is it likely for a breast mri (which i had 2 mnths ago) show growth(s) on lungs as an incidental finding?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A breast MRI is done in patients where a digital mammogram coupled with fibrocystic changes may not be conclusive. This kind of MRI may show lung abnormalities, but proceed with your "annual CT scan" to be as certain as possible about lung manifestations of long term nicotine exposure.
