This lesson introduces our series covering the evaluation of a lung nodule in Spanish. In this lesson, you will hear a dialogue with a patient who was recently seen in the emergency room for chest pain. During that visit, a lung nodule greater than 8 mm was incidentally seen on her CT scan. Therefore, the doctor is recommending she undergo a PET scan to further characterize the nodule. After the dialogue, we practice saying ER, CT scan, and nodule in Spanish.
