yes. 3+ years ago. And before this CT. I left that out for brevity's sake. In both cases, a nodular focus was seen in the xray that lead to the CT request. In the first case, it turned out to be no nodular density, but some structural feature. This time, also no density, but they didn't have the xray to compare (I had to go to a hospital for CT because I have an iodine allergy ant the second CT was ordered w/contrast.) He noted a large right-sided spur present at T7-T8.
Yes. On both xrays, one 3+ years ago and another 2 weeks ago, a density was seen and a CT war ordered to further study. In both CTs, no density was seen, but some structural feature was suggested to be the origin of the "density" noted on xray.
The adenopathy (1.7cm precarinal node) was not seen 3 years ago.
