What do I do now?

I just want to get a CT scan . I received the results but my Dr hasn't reviewed them yet. Should I be worried if it said .. suspicion of COPD and emphazema?

  1. Sorry went to the imaging center and had a CT scan done. ^^^^^^

    1. Hi. Terms like "suspicion" are normal for a radiologist. They report what they see but they do not diagnose. Basically, this means that, based on what the radiologist sees, COPD is a possibility. So, it's best to wait and talk to your doctor about the results before getting overly anxious. Although, I hear you about getting anxijous about such things, as I do the same (and so does my mom). What do you think? John. community moderator.
