I got my CT scan back on my lungs not sure what exactly they are saying either I have UIP or a autoimmune issue
IMPRESSION:
1. Mild bilateral symmetric pulmonary fibrosis, probable UIP pattern, consider possibility for hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
2. Occasional lung nodules up to 4 mm, using Fleischner Society guidelines no further imaging follow-up necessary, consider one-year follow-up surveillance if the patient has high clinical risk factors for lung cancer..

See your doctor! Unless you have an MD or significant medical training it is risky to try to interpret your CT scan findings yourself. I fell for this once on a CT scan for my lung cancer. I was worried all weekend about what I read and here it turned out the increased density of the nodules was an appropriate response to the radiation treatment and things were actually looking OK. See your doctor!
