CT chest: second opinion

Download PDF

Clinical question

Lung cancer screening, first scan. Former smoker, 40 pack-years, stopped 6 years ago. Second opinion requested on the original report.

Technique

Low-dose CT of the chest without contrast, from the top of the lungs to the adrenal glands. 1.25 mm images in lung and soft-tissue windows, with coronal and sagittal views.

Comparison

No earlier chest CT available. The original report of this scan (21 Apr 2026) was reviewed.

Findings

  • Lungs. Solid nodule in the left upper lobe, 18 × 15 mm (series 2, image 190), with spiky edges (spiculated) and a thin strand pulling on the nearby lining of the lung (pleural tag).
  • Lungs. Mild emphysema in both upper lobes. No other nodules.
  • Airways. The windpipe and main airways are clear.
  • Lymph nodes. No enlarged lymph nodes in the chest or at the roots of the lungs.
  • Pleura. No fluid around the lungs (no pleural effusion).
  • Heart and vessels. Normal heart size. Mild calcium in the heart arteries (coronary calcification).
  • Upper abdomen and bones. Nothing abnormal in the upper abdomen in view. Mild wear of the thoracic spine.

Conclusion

  1. A single 18 mm nodule in the left upper lobe with spiky edges. Its size and shape need prompt work-up (Lung-RADS 4X).
  2. No sign of spread to the lymph nodes or the lining of the lung.
  3. Mild emphysema and mild coronary calcification, both common in former smokers.

Compared with your original report

Agrees with your original report, which describes the same 18 mm nodule in the left upper lobe and advises further evaluation. This review adds three things: a risk category (Lung-RADS 4X, because of the spiky edge and the strand to the pleura), a clear next step with a time frame (PET-CT within two weeks), and the nodule outlined and measured on your images.

Recommendations

  1. PET-CT within two weeks to see how active the nodule is.
  2. Review by the lung team (thoracic multidisciplinary meeting) once the PET-CT is back.
  3. If the PET-CT is unclear, a CT-guided biopsy can be considered.
  4. Discuss the coronary calcium with your GP as part of a heart-health check.

CT chest

Indication

Screening in a 68-year-old former smoker.

Technique

Low-dose CT of the chest, without contrast.

Findings

  • An 18 mm solid nodule in the upper left lung, with spiculated edges.
  • No enlarged lymph nodes in the chest.
  • Mild emphysema at the top of both lungs, consistent with the smoking history.
  • No earlier chest scan on file to compare with, so there is no way to tell whether the nodule is new.

Conclusion

A single nodule with irregular, spiky edges. Its size and shape, with nothing earlier to compare against, are the reasons to check it promptly rather than wait and see.

Recommendations

PET-CT in the next few weeks, and a radiologist's review of this study.

Orbius is an AI. This report is not a diagnosis and can contain mistakes. A doctor should confirm the findings before any treatment decision.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the difference between the AI report and a second opinion?

They are two separate options. The Orbius AI report is a structured pre-read written by our AI in minutes, from $20. No doctor reviews it, so it is not a diagnosis. In a radiologist second opinion, a board-certified radiologist matched to your scan reads it and signs the report, usually within 24 to 48 hours, from $60. If you start with an AI report, you can book a radiologist later as a separate, paid consultation.

How much does it cost?

An AI report from Orbius starts at $20. A radiologist second opinion starts at $60, and the exact price depends on the radiologist. You see it before you pay. No subscription, no insurance paperwork.

Who are the radiologists?

Board-certified radiologists and nuclear-medicine specialists, matched to your scan: neuro, musculoskeletal, chest, abdominal, breast or nuclear medicine. Your report carries their name, and you can read every profile and patient review in our specialist directory.

Which scans can I send, and how?

MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound, mammography and DEXA, plus nuclear medicine such as PET-CT and scintigraphy. Upload the files from your hospital CD or USB stick (a ZIP of the folder works), or share a link from your hospital's portal. Add your original report if you have one.

How fast will I get my report?

The AI report is ready in minutes. Most second opinions come back within 24 to 48 hours. DocOrbit is not an emergency service: if your symptoms are severe, sudden or getting worse quickly, call your local emergency number now.

Is a second opinion worth it if I already have a hospital report?

Often, yes. A fresh, independent read can confirm your report or catch something that changes your next step. Share your original report, and the radiologist will say where they agree or disagree. See how that looks in our sample report.

Can I show the report to my doctor?

Yes. Both reports are made for that. The second opinion is a signed radiology report in the format doctors read. The AI report helps you understand your scan and prepare your questions, but it is not a diagnosis. Neither replaces your own doctor.

Who can see my scans?

Your scans are encrypted in transit and at rest. For an AI report, Orbius reads them through AI providers that work for us under contract. For a second opinion, the radiologist on your case reads them. Our team can also access your case to run the service. We never sell your data, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.
