Incidental lower lung module found

yes exactly, I had my report in less than an hour after the scan. So I know there wasn’t much time taken on it. I see all these other reports and everyone’s states shapes and density or calcification and recommendations for follow up . PCP hasn’t look at anything other than the report, and there is t much there other than location and size. Is it possible for me to send my scan to another radiologist or teaching hospital for a better interpretation. I’m just kinda lost at the moment.

I once found "National Diagnostic Imaging" which looked good,
but it\s no government organisation, as I first thought.
Then I found some compenies in India which cooperate with
US-hospitals for quick 2nd radiological opinions.
Usually only for some specialities, e.g. Thorax-CT

I myself =after much search- finally found a radiologist in Berlin
for a 2nd tele-opinion
on CT wrt. interstitional lung disease.

It would certainly be worth calling a few pulmonologists and asking for a consult, citing the two CT scans with different findings.

I agree that going back to the PCP seems like an unnecessary step UNLESS the Pulmonologist told the PCP exactly what they need.
