Hello.

X-ray test results showing a spot film in both upper lobes indicates that the X-ray showed a dark spot in both the left and right upper lobes of the lungs. This could be indicative of a lung infection, such as pneumonia, or could be due to a foreign body, such as an inhaled object.

It is important to follow up with a physician for further testing and evaluation. Has she undergone any more tests?

The term "spot film both upper lobes" may indicate that specific areas of the upper lung lobes were captured in the X-ray images, but it doesn't provide sufficient information to determine the seriousness or normalcy of the condition. Various conditions, such as infections, inflammations, tumors, or other lung-related issues, could appear as spots on the X-ray.

The interpretation of X-ray results requires specialized knowledge and should be done by a qualified healthcare provider, such as a radiologist or a pulmonologist. They can analyze the X-ray findings in the context of person's medical history, symptoms, and other test results to provide an accurate diagnosis.

Best regards.
