01 · What did they find?
Each term from your report — hypodense, ground-glass, Fleischner — explained the way a doctor would with ten spare minutes.
02 · What about my worry?
Tell it what you are afraid of. The report opens by addressing that, then lists what the radiologist looked for and did not find.
03 · What do I do next?
A short list written from your own report, so you walk in knowing exactly what to ask.
04 · Still have a question?
Follow-up questions are answered with your report in context, and they are included with it — not billed separately.

In plain English
A tiny, hazy spot — about the size of a grain of rice — was seen in the top of your right lung. Small nodules like this turn up on a large share of chest CTs and the vast majority are benign. “Fleischner criteria” are simply the standard rules radiologists use to decide when, or whether, a nodule this size needs a follow-up scan.
Detailed findings
About your concern
Is a 4 mm nodule cancer?
Very unlikely. At 4 mm the chance of cancer is under 1%, which is why the report recommends a follow-up scan rather than a biopsy.

Questions to ask your doctor

How fast can a 4 mm nodule grow?
Most nodules this size never change. Guidelines suggest a repeat CT in about 12 months precisely because growth, if any, is slow — your report does not describe any features that would call for an earlier scan.
ReadingScan is an online AI CT scan reader written for patients, not for radiologists. Upload the CT report PDF or the scan images you were given, and it explains each finding in ordinary English — what a ground-glass nodule is, what a hypodense lesion means, what the Fleischner follow-up rules are for. It covers chest, abdominal, head and spine CT, and it states what the scan ruled out as well as what it found. It does not diagnose and it does not replace your radiologist. It makes the CT report you already have readable, in about five minutes.
Every CT scan reading answers the worry you arrived with, says what was ruled out, lets you keep asking, and can read an earlier report alongside this one.
“Should I be worried about this result?”
The report answers that first, in plain words, before it lists anything else.
Tell us what you are afraid of before you upload. Your CT scan report opens by addressing that specific question instead of a generic summary.
Half the relief in a CT scan report is in what is absent. We list what the exam looked for and did not find, in the same plain language.
“What does ‘no acute abnormality’ actually mean?”
That nothing new or sudden was seen. It says nothing about long-standing changes.
Follow-up questions about your own CT scan report, answered with your report in context. Included with the report, not billed separately.
Ask what changed between the two and the answer names the specific finding.
Attach an earlier report and ask what changed since then. Included with your CT scan report rather than sold as an add-on.
Your first CT scan reading is free — no credit card.

Comprehensive evaluation of abdominal organs including liver, kidneys, pancreas, and bowel. Our AI flags stones, cysts, masses, and inflammatory changes.

AI-powered analysis of brain structures, ventricles, and skull. Commonly used after head trauma, for headache evaluation, and stroke assessment.
Intracranial hemorrhage · Midline shift and mass effect · Skull fractures
Evaluation of vertebral bodies, disc spaces, and spinal canal. Identifies fractures, degenerative changes, and stenosis in cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine.
Vertebral fractures · Disc herniation · Spinal canal stenosis
A CT of the arteries that feed your heart, usually summed up as a CAD-RADS score from 0 to 5. We explain what your category means, what soft and calcified plaque are, and why the stent decision stays with your cardiologist.
CAD-RADS 0 to 5, category by category · Soft, calcified and mixed plaque · Stenosis percentages and plaque burden (P1-P4)
Both have their place. We are honest about which one you need: ReadingScan explains your existing CT report; a licensed radiologist re-reads your images and can change the diagnosis.
| What is being compared | ReadingScan (AI explanation) | Radiologist second opinion |
|---|---|---|
| Turnaround | About 5 minutes | Typically 1–3 business days |
| Cost | First analysis free, then from $14 | Often $100 or more |
| What you get | Plain-language explanation of the existing CT findings | A new official diagnostic read that can confirm or revise the original |
| Best for | Understanding your CT report before or after seeing your doctor | High-stakes decisions like surgery or a cancer diagnosis |
If your case involves a major treatment decision, we recommend both: use ReadingScan to understand the vocabulary today, and ask your doctor about a formal second opinion.
