Good afternoon for all!
My wife Chest CT Scan shows something glass opaque. Her doctor told us it seems inflammation/infection. But there are a couple of 3mm and one 4mm nodules. I am highly concerned. Somebody could, please, tell me your experience about similar test results?
I really appreciate your kind attention.
God bless you all.

You do not say if your wife has a pulmonologist or an infectious disease doctor . My recommendation would be to see an infectious disease doctor and go from there. Good luck. Irene5

The term usually used is "ground glass opacity" and means lack of clarity due to cloudiness in the area. It is often an indication of infection - mucus accumulation or "debris" making the image fuzzy, sort of like frosted glass.
Nodules are often small areas of pus or infectious matter, and will disappear with the opacity once the infection clears.
If bacterial, antibiotics can be used to clear it. If a virus, time can heal it.
If your wife having symptoms of pneumonia or bronchitis, like cough, fever, shortness of breath and fatigue?
