A member asked:
My chest ct scan finding: "there are few small lung nodules: there is 6 mm nodule in anterior right middle lobe and in right lower; the a subpleural 5 mm nodule is in right lower lobe and two small 4 mm nodules in right lower lobe." is this serious?

All imaging results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, if these nodules are new, it could be serious. Wish you good health!

Please outline your symptoms and the reason for the Chest CT. The images mm ay be uploaded during a virtual consult with Healthtap. Do you smoke? The appearance of the nodules and calcification is often outlined in the report. If you are otherwise healthy, an Infectious cause should be considered. Watch for signs of shortness of breath, fever and cough.
