CT scan result - anyone interpret results?

Less than one minute read time.

Hi all

Obtained a copy of my CT scan results from last week, can anyone interpret the results. I have to wait till end October before seeing my Consultant.

CT NECK, CHEST, ABDOMEN & PELVIS.

There are two large right submandibular nodes measuring up to 11mm in short axis & several nodes in the left axilla measuring up to 14mm in short axis. None of the right axillary nodes are significantly enlarged but they are numerous. Numerous small nodes are also seen in the superior mediastinum, anterior to the trachea &anterior to the aortic arch, measuring up to 8mm in short axis. No indication of axillary or retroperitoneal lymphadenpathy. In the pelvis i note moderately enlarged obturating nodes bilaterally measuring up to 10mm in short axis on the left. There is no indication of orgenomegaly.

    Hi Jools

    Thanks for coming back to me, what nurses can i ring? I dont expect any people to be able to give a definitive answer, just put my mind at rest for a few weeks.

    Hi Teabank,

    I am a bit bemused as to why they would give you this with no explanation of the results?? It is clear you are concerned about the results and I think it is awful you have this info but have to wait for it to be translated to you in plain English. I dont know why we arent supposed to interpret results....I have never heard of that rule??

    I have an Anatomy and Physiology qualification but am NOT medically trained. I can tell you where in the body they are referring too but I would imagine you already know that part.

    I hope you get the answers you need, have you tried your GP??

    Love Chrissi xxx
