I got my results today of an xray that i had done last week, the doctor advised me that the radiologist doctor said there was vague spot in my left lung between the 6 and 7 ribs and I went and got  CT Scan. I am really scared can you tell me what you think?Thank You,  AmeliaSorry I thought it was free
Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Spot in lungs on chest x-ray is always needing CT thorax with contrast to confirm TGE diagnosis. Following characteristics of lung spot are necessary to differentiate between malignant and benign nodule.1. Exact size2.  Margins of nodule3. Calcified or not. 4. Surrounding lung tissue involved or not. 5. Mediastinal lymph nodes involved or not. All these features are important and can only be seen in CT thorax with contrast. Since you already had CT, wait for the results and see for above-mentioned characteristics.
