Can a CT Scan Detect Lung Nodules and What Do They Mean?

Lung nodules are small spots or growths that may appear in the lungs during a Chest CT Scan. Most lung nodules are benign and may develop due to previous infections, inflammation or scar tissue. However, some require further investigation to rule out serious conditions, including lung cancer.
A CT Scan helps doctors assess the size, shape and location of lung nodules. Depending on the findings and individual risk factors, follow-up imaging or additional tests may be recommended.
