Lung crystallization on CT scan, what does this mean ?
Patient: I had a CT scan of my abdomen and pelvis. i was told today they seen crystallization at the lung base. I have to wait to see my regular doctor . what does this mean ? Doctor: Welcome to Healthcare Magic  I believe the word is consolidation. If Yes, it means there is lung infection of pneumonia at the lower part of the lungs and will require probably antibiotic treatment after few more tests.
