Hello all,
I wound up getting a CT for something unrelated (which turned out to be nothing), but in the process, the Radiologist picked out a 1mm "faint calcification". An "incidental finding" I think they call it. I wouldn't have even known about it had I not actually requested/read the report/images because the Doc never told me about it.
Reading through the CACI guidelines, it talks about getting a note from the physician, which is fine, but if it was the first finding, can the Dr sign off that it's "stable and unchanging?" with only one image. Do I need to get a second scan of some kind (US, XRay or another CT), and if so, what would be the time interval?
Just trying to do my homework since my medical is due next month. I did do a search of the forum, but didn't see anything 100% relevant.
Appreciation in advance.
