I'm a nearly-retired Thoracic Radiologist at the University of Utah.
My primary aspiration as a reporting radiologist is: the narrowest Differential Diagnosis possible -- preferably one only.

My comments and assertions are, of course, my own.
Hmm, Who'd have thought...

Hi,

Thanks for responding.

What "...appropriate clinical setting" are you thinking of ?

Here's a follow-up CT done ~ 4 months later (prior to a surgical lung biopsy done another ~ 3 months later).
