The scan included an area of your lung with a small nodule. The characteristics of the nodule is important information. It is possible to have multiple nodules, if the scan included only a partial view. Do you have current symptoms? A small nodule without significant medical risk factors without involvement of the lymph nodes or other areas of the lung may be followed. TB test may be indicated.
