I Was Looking Back Over My Past Test Results From

Posted on Thu, 23 Jun 2022

Question: I was looking back over my past test results from when I went to urgent care for chest pain and had a positive d-dimer. On the chest x-ray, it states Bones: suspicious-appearing bony lesion is seen. What does this mean? Should this have been followed up on?

I've also had 2 past head MRIs that showed unchanged lesions.

Brief Answer:
the bone lesion should be diagnosed

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
although I've not seen all the tests you've done and you've not provided too many details about your complaints, I can say that your positive d-dimers test has been addressed properly (CT scan of the pulmonary artery). The cause of the bone lesion is not clear. Is it a fracture? Is it a mass? What is it? What does it look like to the radiologist? This is not clarified by this report. This is something that has to be investigated. What about the MRI lesions? What are they? Do they suspect multiple sclerosis or other neurodegenerative disorders? Are they masses? If you could provide more details, it could make my evaluation more accurate.
