This module is based on a clinical encounter, where the doctor recommends a PET scan to evaluate an incidental nodule seen on chest CT.
In this lesson, you will hear a dialogue with a patient recently seen in the emergency room for chest pain. During that visit, a lung nodule greater than 8 mm was incidentally found on her CT scan. Therefore, the doctor recommends she undergo a PET scan to further characterize the nodule. After the dialogue, we practice saying ER, CT scan, and nodule in Spanish.
