What Do Nodules In Lungs Indicate?

I will explain you in detail.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have very small nodules in your lung. 1mm difference in size is not significant at all. This kind of variation is common. It may be due to image wise variation, radiologist interpretation or may be some technical variations. Clinically it is not significant.
Now coming to your second question, you should go for repeat assessment after a year. Your nodule size is not increasing but still nodules are there. If you don't want radiation exposure then you can go for MRI.
It is safe. Forgot about your nodule right now. Just go for assessment later on.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.

You should go for MRI. It will give enough details to compare.
You have not told about esophagus node in earlier discussion. Please send me details of that node or send me ct scan report.
For lung nodules no need to worry. Mostly it should be inflammatory in nature. But on safer side you should go for one more repeat evaluation.
