mild degerative changes of the cervical spine with anterior osteophyte formation and decreased disc space as well as bilateral facet changes causing neural foraminal narrowing most prominate at C6-7 level. The above is what my xrays read. Does this qualify for social security disability?
chest x-ray diagnosis from ER: stable elevation of the left hemidiaphragm. no airspace consolidation. no pleural efusion or pneomothorax. cardiomediastinal silhouette: stable other: mild thoracic levoscoliosis is unchanged. WHAT does all this REALLY mean???
My x-ray findings were the following: There is a low-level of inspiration with prominence of the cardiomediastinal silhouette and pulmonary vasculature. Linear strandy opacities in the bilateral lung bases likely represents atelectasis. No pleural effusion or pneumothorax. What does this mean in lay terms. Thanks you.
