What Could .4 Changing To .5 In Heart Shown By CT Scan Of Heart Indicate?
My mother just had a CT scan of her heart and she is confused about some of the results meaning. SHe questions the .4 now changing to .5 in her heart. I don' t have the results on hand so I do not know what she is referring to. I don't think this is an adequite amount of information for you to solve this question but I hope you could tell me maybe what she is referring to.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
It is difficult to comment exactly on the point to be clarified. However, it might refer to measurement in the range 0.5 cm to 0.4 cm. It might be noted that 0.1 cm difference in measurement is acceptable on CT scan.
