Yes, oddly, as I suffer with Emphysema only, I asked this of my consultant.

Yes.

"CT scans are also used in the chest to identify tumors, cysts, or infections that may be suspected on a chest X-ray."

Hi mrs ummy, I have recently had a high res ct scan as I've been unwell stubborn copious mucus weight loss etc, in the past had sabr radio to treat a bad nodule but all around the bottom of my lung is a white large area hazy which they are never certain what it is as it was there pre treatment they just say it could be scaring or they once treated it for possible pneumonia. But they are quite vague about it, all I know is that's is the area I have most trouble with xx

I don't have any medical training carolg1 so I suggest you give the BLF nurses a call on 03000 030 555 during office hours Mon - Friday. Good luck with it. x
