Hi, thanks for using HCM.

Your X-rays findings are suggestive of reduced lung mass on right side could be from collapse of few lobules, thats why there is a shift of mediastinum to right side increased opacity on right side. need further examination to know cause for reduced lung mass. Consult your doctor for further management.

Hope this information helps you.
