Is There Any Doctor Available To Analyse This Report?
I just got my latest LOW DOSE chest CT scan.
History :
PTB suspect
Technique :
Non-contrast axial 64-multislice low dose CT scan of the chest using 1 x 1 mm slices was done.
Findings :
Fibronodular densities are observed in both lung apices with associated pleural thickening. Linear densities in the inferior lingula are reflective of subsegmental atelectasis or fibrosis. Minimal reticular densities with a subcentimeter noncalcified nodule (0.3 cm) are detected in the lateral and medial segments of the RIGHT lower lobe.
No enlarged lymph nodes in the hilar and mediastinal regions.
There is NO evidence of pleural effusion.
Heart and great vessels are normal in caliber and configuration. Trachea and proximal airways are patent without endobronchial lesion.
Intrathatoric esophagus are intact.
The adernal glands are normal in size and configuration. The rest of the upper abdominal structures are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION :
BIAPICAL FIBRONODULAR DENSITIES WITH ASSOCIATED PLEURAL THICKENING MAY RELATE TO POST INFECTIOUS CHANGES
SUBSEGMENTAL ATELECTASIS AND/OR FIRBOSIS, INFERIOR LINGULA
MINIMAL RETICULAR DENSITIES WITH SUBCENTER NONCALCIFIED NODULE IN THE LATERAL AND MEDIAL BASAL SEGMENTS OF THE RIGHT LOWER LOBE. CONSIDER INFLAMMATORY PROCESS. FOLLOW UP AFTER SIX MONTHS IS RECOMMENDED
NO ENLARGED LYMPH NODES.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Previous possible tuberculous lesion present. At present there are no lesions suggestive of active infection
2. At places lung damage is present due to previous infection.
3. Lymphnode previously infected and healed too with calcification
4. No lesion present in lung, suggestive of pulmonary tuberculosis
5. All other organs are within normal limits.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
