Hi I recently had a CT of my chest due to chest pain. The CT findings were as follows Soft tissue settings showed: An inhomogeneous thyroid gland with areas of calcification identified. No significant axillary lymphadenopathy.
Multiple small mediastinal lymph nodes identified.
CT Impression 12/28/16 Scattered areas of interstitial change and atelectasis in the lung fields
Multiple peripheral bronchi show mild wall thickening. Abnormal thyroid gland which should be correlated clinically
I have had an ultrasound of the thyroid since the CT and have been referred to a surgeon but nothing was ever said about the CT findings of my chest. I don't really understand whythe radiologist meant by some of the comments. Any help appreciated!

Understanding CT terminology
Schedule an appointment with your doctor to go over the results of the CT scan. Ask him/her to break it down into English, and don't leave the office until you understand the results.
