Welcome to health care magic.
1. There are two suspicious nodular densities in left lung with margins ill-defined ( poorly able to demarcate the margins).
2. This is seen in lung malignancies but it is not confirm as it is also seen in case of infection / inflammation.
3.Few enlarged lymph nodes are seen - also seen in case on malignancies and infections.
4. So in this situation the treating doctor has decided to have a follow-up CT to compare the density after some treatment.
5. If infection / inflammation it will be healed where as in malignancy there will be increased in growth. In that case next step will be BIOPSY - for confirmation.
Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
