How To Determine Lung Scar On X-ray?
After the 6 months medication for PTB Minimal, I requested for Chest Xray, and was interpreted to have partial clearing of the Left upper lungs. I understand that PTB cases, will leave a lung scar. How will you be able to determine if the Xray result is a scar or not?

Hi and thank you for asking in HCM.
I can understand your concern.
According to the history if the chest X Ray is suspicious if it is a lung scar or not ,to be sure i would recommend to you to do a chest HRCT .
After this the pulmonologist will be sure for the imaging in your lungs and will advice you further.
Thank you
