Don't want to go into unnecessary details, but had a CT abdomen show 2 "statistically insignificant" lesions on the liver (they didn't measure them)-- is this common terminology?
I don't know if you can give me much info just on that, but what are the possibilities when that phrasing is used? Could it just be one of a hundred benign changes (i.e. fatty change, fibrosis, instrument effect)?
I'm not asking for medical advice, just want to know what the radiologist is thinking when he uses the term "statistically insignificant," in regards to a couple liver lesions.
Thanks in advance if you can help!
