Findings Library

Plain-English guides to common radiology findings

These pages explain common report terms in educational language. They are designed to support conversations with your clinician, not to diagnose disease or recommend treatment.

Use this page as the main directory for the findings library. It is organized into body-region clusters so you can move from one known term to nearby report wording, symptom questions, and follow-up context without depending on a single isolated page.

Currently covering 183 common findings across multiple body regions.

Priority finding guides

These pages are strong candidates to act as internal-link hubs because they connect to common chest, abdominal, vascular, and neurologic report searches.

Chest

Lung Nodule

A lung nodule is a small spot in the lung, but the key question is usually whether the report is describing a routine incidental finding or a nodule that needs interval follow-up.
