"Hazy" CT scan

[Chas123456]

Hi,Has anyone had this?

My oncologist said there was no sign of anything nasty on my recent quarterly scan.

But there was this haze. She checked I felt ok (I do) then moved on

I will follow this up with my GP but it would be useful to know if anyone has any knowledge of similar.

Many thanks

I would be reassured by your oncologist, however it might be helpful to have some further clarity on what it could be.

Haziness in a CT scan can be flecks of increased density which is a description of the image on the scan and not a diagnosis in itself. If you feel well, as in no chest infection, this may be rechecked in 3 months.

It would be good to discuss this with your GP or your lung cancer nurse specialist.

If you would like to discuss anything further you can email ask the nurse at [e-mail] or call the nurse on our free phone helpline on 0800 358 7200 Monday to Thursday 0900-1700 and Friday 0900-1600
