Hi doctor, I am a smoker for 29 years, about half-pack a day. I just went through a chest CT scan yesterday. Can you help me to review the Dicom image files to see if everything is fine?
Hi. Review of given CT chest scan images (attachment removed to protect patient identity): There is no obvious focal lesion in the lungs. There is mild hyperinflated lungs with concerns for early changes due to emphysema. This is not a serious problem. However, you might like to alter your smoking habits and decrease the chances of further lung changes.
