Could they spot the lung damage with an X-ray? Those are more widely available and a lot of places will get you same day turn around.

You can hear lung damage with a stethoscope

My doc has an X-ray in his clinic. But, I don't know if X-ray has sufficient resolution to spot early damage to the lungs.

There's an MD that posts here from time to time. Maybe he will chime in.

This is my line of work.

CT is better, but normal chest x-rays often work for the initial screening.

Thanks for following up. I was hopeful, but since the article specifically mentioned a CT, I suspected this was the case.
