Discuss with doctor: Discuss the situation with your doctor. What to do next depends on the actual images on the ct and the opinion of the radiologist (a doctor specializing in image interpretation). Your doctor may need to talk to the rad. Sometimes the ct can clearly determine if the nodule is benign, but sometimes followup ct's are required. If there is an old ct to compare with, that would be extremely helpful.
