Nodulle in lung: You need to see a pulmonary speacialist as soon as possible to further investigate this nodule it needs to be biopsied through cat guided biopsy or through bronchoscopy.

Frequent finding: Ct's frequently show "incidental" findings. In most cases, they do not represent any serious disease. Often your radiologist and physician will recommend some follow-up, such as repeating the ct in about 3 months to make sure the nodule isn't growing (ie a possible cancer, rather than old scar). If you are at high risk for lung cancer (a smoker), more tests might be ordered immediately.
