What Is The Reason Of Nodules Seen On Chest X-ray?
Had a quick question. Had a chest X-ray which showed three nodules. Then I had a ct scan which did not show the nodules. I know a ct scan can show more, however I'm not sure which one I believe now. I am breast cancer survivor, so I get chest X-rays every year and have never had a problem, let alone find three nodules. Should I repeat these tests, or get a bone scan to be on the safe side, or do you think everything is fine?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you are cancer survivor any lung nodule is a cause of concern. CT is definitely more reliable then x ray. It would be advisable to consult your oncologist to rule out any secondaries.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
