As Gary said usually early scans produce areas which "can not be excluded". My first 3 scans had those areas and it bothered me no end but my docs said they were probably just inflamation and they repeated the scans every 2 to 3 months for comparison. My last scan was finally "all clear" so I'm happy until my next scan.
See if they think rescaning in a few months is prudent.
