A member asked:
Notified that ct of abdomen showed interstitial fibrotic changes. i was told i had scar on my lung 40 years ago. could that be what they saw? is this ild?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CT abdomen does not include the entire lungs. All radiological findings must be co-related with symptoms. Scar on a ling is an isolated thing and not interstitial fibrotic disease
