hi @joyb1975 - there are a whole host of things that can cause a tree in bud pattern on imaging, including tuberculosis. the best thing would be to see your doctor asap, since you've already had your repeat chest CT, you shouldn't need to do another one in 2 weeks.

@mamajite I agree with Joy. Another CT, especially without contrast, this soon? I too just found out there is some sort of involvement with my heart, as I have had papatations for some time. I had an echo a few weeks ago and there is at least one valve that is regurgitating blood in the (of course) opposite direction. My point is, don't let your possible heart condition go unchecked. They have now added a cardiologist to my team, for which I am grateful, but I was complaining even before my lung surgery. Hopefully in your case, it is more emotional than physical. Blessings 💕
