Just received results from Pet Scan which the radiologist in the impression said SUV max was mildly elevated at 4.2 for Hilar lymph node and also for groundglass opacity which was 1.97 concerning for low grade neoplasm. Also with autopulmonary window lymph node maximal SUV at 3.8 and maximal SUV in the left Hilum at 3.5 but these were not mentioned in the impression. Why would the radiologist not mention the other activity in the impression too? No pathologic adenopathy seen by size or morphology. Pulmonologist wants to biopsy the hilar lymph node but again no mention of the other activity. I guess he didn’t read the whole report, just the impression section.
