Brief Answer:
CT guided biopsy
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
U do not need to worry as the two scans are not showing too much of difference in the lung nodules.
But since you are having a smoking history i would suggest u do a CT scan of chest with contrast to see exact position of the lesion.
Once the exact position is noted i would suggest u do a CT guided biopsy from the lesion to rule out malignancy.
Warm Regards
