Correct!
4. Thoracic CTA shows progression of the anterior segment right upper lobe localized nodular opacities seen on the prior thoracic CTA 17 months previously
Thoracic CTA shows no evidence of pulmonary embolism. No recurrence of the bilateral lower lobe pneumonia or nodules is seen, but the nodular opacities within the central anterior segment of the right upper lobe on the study about 17 months earlier (Figure 9) have progressed substantially. No miliary nodules are seen and no pleural disease is present. No other areas of consolidation are evident.
The patient was presumed to have community-acquired bronchopneumonia and was started on levofloxacin. Chest radiography (Figure 12) was repeated after about 1.5 months, after which the patient said he felt “back to his baseline.”
