iN A XRAY IT`S NOT EASY TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN AN ACTIVE DISEASE AND A SCAR TISSUE. YOUR RADIOLOGIST MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN YOUR PREVIOUS HISTORY THAT`S WHY HE REPORTED IT AS HE DID. TO RULE OUT ACTIVE LESION YOU SHOULD CONSULT A PULMONOLOGIST WHO WILL EXAMINE YOU AND ORDER CERTAIN TESTS LIKE A USG CHEST, A MX TEST ETC.
