Indeterminate 7 x 6 mm nodule in the medial left thyroid. On side to side comparison, this does not exactly match the uptake identified on prior PET CT (nodule appeared lateral rather than medial on that study) however it is possible this simply represents slight misregistration given the small size of the nodule. Findings discussed with Dr. Soni Smith at the time of dictation.
