[|Human|] my mum has recently had a chest xray and it showed a abmomalitie in her lung.  The doctor advised that she should be admitted into hostpital over night for more tests but she panicked and was adament she wanted to go home,  Would this mean it could be serious or maybe nothing to worry about.  She is 77.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Chest x-ray is simple screening test for lung diseases. Your mother had something on chest x-ray, it could be pneumonia or tuberculosis or lung cancer or cyst. So she needs further investigations in the form of CT scan, bronchoscopy and blood reports etc. And this is the reason why your doctor wants to admit her. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Please hit, thanks.
