A member asked:
I had a chest scan and it showed a 3 mm nodule with faint ground glass. what could faint ground glass indicate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ground glass appearance on chest ct scan can be from infection, other types of inflammation or growths. Nodules under 6 mm are under small risk of being cancerous but I recommend that you consult a pulmonologist for evaluation, advice or any further testing deemed appropriate.
