What does it mean if the result of xray say that no definite active lung infiltrate are seen?

Hi, guest.

The statement "no definite active lung infiltrate seen" on an X-ray report indicates that there are no clear signs of an ongoing lung infection or inflammation in the image. It suggests that there are no visible abnormalities or areas of concern that would indicate an acute or active respiratory condition, such as pneumonia or pulmonary infiltrates.

However, it's important to note that an X-ray is just one diagnostic tool, and the interpretation of the image should be done in conjunction with other clinical findings and symptoms. It's possible for certain lung conditions to be present despite not being evident on an X-ray, especially in the early stages or if the condition is localized to a specific area.
