Our board certified radiologists will usually evaluate the exam the same day it is performed. The results are typically available by the next day.

Most of the nodules that are found on CT are not lung cancer. Depending on the appearance and size of the nodule, the radiologist will make a recommendation as to the follow up. Some nodules may require closer follow up scans, additional testing, or a biopsy. These additional follow up tests or procedures are also usually covered by insurance.
