A member asked:
Does a ctpa evaluate the lungs for masses,tumours etc? if the report says lungs are clear,no masses or nodules does that mean theyve evaluated the lungs for these things?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A CT of the lungs will show masses or nodules. If it is a CT angiogram, they will still be able to see masses or nodules in addition to the blood vessels. So, if the report says there were no masses/nodules, then none were seen. Good luck!
