CT Scan after taking steroids

2024-01-08 13:49:27
My mother aged 59 years had been detected with Hypersensitivity Pneumoniitis in October end. Doctor said that it's an early stage so it should get cured via steroids. She took Wysolene 40 mg then 30 then 20 and eventually 10 mg distributed over 40 days and now has completely halted it. She did a CT scan today. PFA the report. Plz help me understand if there is any improvement.
