Regular CT vs HRCT

@cwal The radiologist typically compares each scan to the most recent previous one. So perhaps your MAC and whatever else is in your lungs is stable for now. If so that is very good news.

What does the doctor say? Remember that the radiologist only has the scans to evaluate. The doctor has your whole history.

Thank you Sue.
Yes, the Radiologist had the previous "regular" CT to compare to. I just don't understand how it would show on the Regular CT but the HRCT, which as I understand gives a higher quality image, did not show it? Can tree in bud "disappear"?

I have not seen my doctor yet since the scan but she tends to blow me off anyway so I try not to ask her much.
