Sometimes what looks like nodules on a CT scan is nonexistant on a PET scan, or it can be identified as scarring from radiation. My doctor has always followed up suspicious CT scans with PET scans. I have considerable scarring to the upper lobe of my right lung from the 33 radiation treatments I received.
