Computed Tomography (CT)

22 Feb 08 - I was sent for a CT scan of my chest and CT cardiac calcium scoring.

Results of CT chest :
1. No CT evidence of pulmonary embolism (no blood clot in the lungs)
2. Metastasis in the left upper lobe (cancer spread to upper lobe of left lung)
3. Bilateral pleural effusions and pericardial effusion, deemed ominous
- both lungs had fluid, and the sac around the heart had fluid too, which was bad

CT cardiac calcium scoring :
- normal for my age, gender and ethnicity
