Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
According to chest X-ray findings,
Lung parenchyma appears normal.No signs of infection.
Both CP Angles are clear.
Trachea is central in position.
Hilar shadows are also normal.
Left diaphragmatic position and contour is elevated.It may be due to many reasons like distended stomach.This should be correlated clinically.
Right Diaphragmatic position and contour is with in normal limit.
Hope i have answered your query.
Take Care
