    HRCT Scan Essay

    • 503 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Ron was seen today following the HRCT scan to assess for the significance of the crackles in the setting of his mild decrease in gas transfer factor. The HRCT showed multiple bilateral calcified pleural plaques consistent with his known past asbestos exposure, probably as a child, and some mild subpleural reticulation in the bi-basal regions noted, but no interstitial fibrotic change. The significance of these findings is uncertain and given that we have no past chest imaging that Ron can recall, they either represent old changes or are progressive interstitial lung disease. The reassuring thing is that his relatively well-preserved lung function tests with his normal spirometry and only mild decrease in gas transfer factor and, as such, the findings are probably incidental and unlikely to be contributing to much to his shortness of breath on exertion.…
