What Does Presence Of Opacity In Lung On An X-ray Report Indicate?
Hi， I just done my body check several days before. I just received a call to do the chest x ray again with nipple marker due to vague roundish opacity found in my left lung. I am a non smoker. I did not get any infection recently but I easily get cough when there is cold air get into my trachea. I am wondering what does mean for vague roundish opacity.

Hello,
It could be an old and healed infection as in the case of old tuberculosis. Consult a pulmonologist and get evaluated. You can opt for a CT thorax to get a better clinical picture.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
