What Does My Chest X-ray Report Indicate?
I had a chest X-ray last week for PAT. The report states: 4 mm nodular density overlying the left lung base and left posterior ninth rib. I had a CT scan yesterday. The nodule does not show up on the CT scan. I have been told that the 4mm nodular density seen on the X-ray might be a shadow, or an anomaly. I have been told to not worry about it. What do you think?

Hello,
It could be an old or healed lesion and does not indicates any active disease process. No definite treatment is required either.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
