Brief Answer:
Explain your symptoms...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Your X-ray shows an abnormality in the right lung. The abnormality may be due to an infection or mass lesion. It's difficult to differentiate the two based on X-ray. A CT scan will be necessary.
May I know your symptoms and the reason why chest X-ray was performed?
What is your doctor planning to do next?
Regards
