What Does This X-ray Radiographic Report Indicate?
hi Doc. I am diagnosed with HCVD and in my x-ray recently, the first radiographic report om my chest is that there is a noted suspicious left upper lung density.S uggest apicolordotic view.the rest of the lungs are clear. Heart is normal in size. and the rest of the chest soft tissues and osseous structures are unremarkable. The second x-ray radiographic report for chest and apicolordotic view was noted to have no active parenchymal infiltrates.
Is there something wrong with my health condition?

Welcome to health care magic.
1.In your case the normal PA view of the x-ray a suspicious density noted in the left lung apical region / upper zone.
2.That area is complex anatomical area and poorly seen on that view, at the same time most prone area for TB.
3.In the lordotic view there was some infiltrates noted in the left apical region - that can be infective / inflammatory changes in the lung.
4.In this case first thing if the symptoms and duration are longer - a sputum examination is needed to rule-out TB.
5.If its ruled out a course of antibiotic will be enough to treat, and to confirm a followup x-ray after treatment.
Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
any thing to ask ? do not hesitate to ask.
