What Does This CT Scan Report Indicate?
What does it mean when a CT reading comes back with "Apparently a New faint 5mm ovoid nodule located in RUL?" I had one 5 nodule a year ago and has not gotten larger. Now they say there is a new one. What is the likely hood this is something I need to worry about? 47 y/o male previous smoker, quit 7 years ago.
