A member asked:

Should i be concerned with hypostatic lung changes on a ct that i just had?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See answer: This probably means that you didn’t take a deep enough breath and there was slight under expansion of the lung bases – likely not of clinical concern – discuss with your dr.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
