Brief Answer:
Please upload entire CD or DVD and send download link

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have received the images in mail but these pictures are not enough to make a complete analysis of the CT scan.

Usually a CT scan chest abdomen and pelvis contains 700 to 1000 images, this might be given to you on a CD or DVD.

It is requested that you upload the entire contents of the CD or DVD to a file sharing website like dropbox or google drive and send me the download link.

Brief Answer:
Chest images are not available

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing back with an update.

From the images you have enclosed, we can see a metallic clip in the gall bladder region.
There is no other significant abnormal findings.

The chest images are not available therefore I cannot comment about the chest.

Regards,

Brief Answer:
Reviewed the images sent by you

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for sending across the images.

In the CT scan there is a heterogeneous area in the right breast. It is important to tell you that CT scan is not a good investigation to study breast tumours. In the recent past, diagnosis and evaluation of breast tumours was done using xray mammogram and breast ultrasound.

Over the last 5 to 10 years we are using MRI mammography with xray mammography and breast ultrasound to study breast tumours. There is something called breast tumour enhancement pattern which is studied in MRI mammography.

Getting back to your CT scan images, there is the heterogeneous area in the right breast which by itself does not mean it is a cancer. Detailed correlation with xray mammography, breast ultrasound and MRI mammography is required if your doctors think it to be a cancer like condition.

Other findings in the CT scan include the visualisation of a clip in the gall bladder region and few small lymph nodes in the groin regions.

Please let me know more doubts which you have and any discussions you held with your doctors.
