Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Nodule In Lung, Osteoporosis. Pain In Collar Bone And Shoulder Blade. What Do You Think?
I have a 9mm nodule on the right lung . I have had 2 CT scans 3 months apart and it was unchanged in size. I will have another in November which is 6 months from the last one. I had a PET Scan 6 months ago that said the superior segment of the right lung has extremely low level activity that is less then 1.0 SUV. What does that mean? I also have osteoporosis . There was a small area of abnormal activity involving the T4 vetebral body that was believed to be an atypical hemangioma , what does that mean? I am now having pain in my collar bone, right shoulder blade and right side sometimes.. When I lie down it stops hurting most of the time. My doctor said I can do another PET/CT now and another in November to be sure it has not changed in size. I am afraid of waiting so long, but fear so much radiation . What do you think and what about the 1.0 SUV?
