Greetings!,

Sorry I haven't been on here since the last time I posted a question. I got my CT Results for that pulmonary nodule that was showing in Oct. I will share results here. It looks to me the Nodule is long gone!!! Thank Goodness! Now I have no clue what the rest of stuff means so maybe someone could help me out. I realize we can't give Medical Advice I just want your opinions if you think it looks like a good CT Scan.

"1. Mild emphysema.
2. Limited examination performed without intravenous contrast.
