Scars in an X ray need to be assessed in detail. If your X ray show scars then you need to discuss with a pulmonologist regarding the scar pattern and then if necessary a CT scan of chest may be done. he pain in your left elbow may also be investigated to know if it has anything to do with arthritis which can show up on the X ray chest. Sometimes even due to environmental exposure there can be scars like areas in the lungs. Any history of smoking is also relevant.
