How To Interpret Chest X-ray Report?
I had a chest x-ray done in 2012 and the findings say: No focal area of consolidation is identified. There is no evidence of pneumothorax or pleural effusion. The trachea is midline. The cardiomediastinal silhouette is within normal limits. The aortic arch is calcified. There is mild spondylitis of the midthoracic spine. What does all these findings mean? Should I have been concerned?

HI
Well come to HCM
The x-ray report given here is normal in fact this is not the proper way to know something about any investigative report but better to narrate the clinical complaint first which you have done this x-ray because this helps in correlation the report with clinical condition, hope this information helps.
