Guest guest Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Hi Diane, The only comment I would make on your ct scan report would be that it is good news that the radiologist described the fibrosis in your lungs as "minimal". That can only be a good thing. There are many more questions to be answered I would make a list of them so that you are prepared when you see your pulmonologist. Good luck with the PFT, just stay relaxed and follow the instructions as best you can. Please keep us posted as to how it all goes! Beth Age 48 Fibrotic NSIP 06/06 Change everything. Love and Forgive CT Scan Results As I stated in my intro when I first joined, I don't have an "official"diagnosis yet. I had a chest x-ray last month that showed "diffuse fibrosisbilaterally" , I am scheduled for pulmonary function tests next week, and hada high resolution CT scan of the lungs this past Monday. I picked up a copyof the CT report yesterday, as I don't go back to the pulmonologist for afew weeks and was anxious to see what it said. The following is theimpression as written by the radiologist:"Widely scattered small blebs as well as several scattered subpleural orpleural based nodules bilaterally. This is most prominent at the right lungbase and there appear to be calcifications within a pleural based nodule andadjacent parenchymal nodule compatible with granulomatous disease. Thesefindings should be further correlated clinically but are probably related toold granulomatous disease. Very minimal scattered areas of nondescriptinterstitial fibrosis is present. No other evidence of acute diseasehowever is seen."Anyone have any input/guesses as to what this means. I've been trying toresearch each item, but not getting very far.Thank you in advance for any insight :)Diane - in NJ ~0) (my never ending cup of coffee, lol)dianeflemings@ hughes.netFamily and Pets http://mynetimages. com/album/ ladywolf/http://www.myspace. com/ladywolf_ nj"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." - Anatole France Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
