Hi
Can I ask what is the meaning in my XRAY Results?
Suspicious densities are noted on the left upper lobe for which lordotic view is suggested
the rest of the lungs are cleared
hila and pulmonary vessels are within normal limits
heart is not enalrged
no other remarkable chest findings.
Thanks
Hi Josh,
Something is seen in your upper left lobe. Normal lung tissue is "clear" to the x-ray - it comes out black. An infection or fluid will show up as a "density" which results in a white spot on the x-ray.
The lordotic view is another x-ray from a different angle to better image the top of your lungs.
You need additional tests.
Good luck.
So it means that i am sick? Is there a problem in my lungs?
Thanks
Not necessarily. It means there is something they need to check out. Sometimes the position of the x-ray machine and the body leads to artifacts, false images, things that shouldn't be there. The other x-ray can help clarify if there is something there.
Follow up with your doctor.
Thank you so much!
By the way, what is the ideal timetable to have an xray again? I had my xray last 2 days ago.
Thanks
It can be done anytime but, if there is really something there, earlier treatment is better.
May I know what is the meaning of this " There are fibrohazed densities at the left upper lobe. Heart, diaphragm and bony thorax are unremarkable.
Infections and scar tissues present as "denser" than normal lung tissues. Fibrohazed densities means that there are "strands" of these densities. It is not normal and you will need a follow up to determine what is the cause.
apicolordotic view and spot film are suggested
Is that a question Guest?
They want another x-ray focusing on the apex of your lungs, the top. They also want another film focused on a specific area.
Your doctor can provide specifics.
apical=apex, tip or top of an object
lordotic=curvature of the neck (cervical) or back (lumbar)
My xray result is suspicious left apical density due to over lying tissues.. What this mean?
Suspicious left upper lobe densities seen.Heart is normal in size and configuration.Diaphragm and other structures are intact.
Apisolordotic view is suggested.
i have an x-ray result that says
suspicious hazy opacities noted in both upper lungs
for correlation with apico lordotic view
heart and other visualized chest structures are intact.
