Thanks!
How does someone know if "inner" or "outer" is noted in CT scan report?
My February CT scan had 48 x 46 noted .......what does that mean?
The aneurysm size noted on my chest x-ray of 2024 was incidental to the purpose of getting the chest x-ay.

@ewei6911 ....PS....not positive as I'm not a doctor, but the 48×46 could be a measurement of a growth seen on the scan and possibly referenced in millimeters. "Inner" or "Outer" might not be referenced on the report, but just a way that it could be measured by the Dr doing the analysis and report.

@ewei6911 ...The problem with those reports is the info shown is written by a Radiologist, normally an MD. Lots of medical jargon. If you dont understand or know what is written, ask your doctor for clarification in laymans terms! It's very easy to get confused or focus on non-essential information. If your feeling well and your Dr knows your aneurysm status, wait until you have a clear understanding of what your aneurysm is doing and calm your thoughts.
