Hi,
To answer your specific question point by point:
X-ray of Chest of Mother aged 79 shows: Accentuated bronco-vascular markings > means the image of x-ray showing the grayscale with more pronounced results indicating a possible inflammatory action going on.
With ill-defined showdowns in both lung field,> means there are shadows which are not present in normal X-ray chest indicating a possibility of pneumonia or any mass effects that can be confirmed by CT scan of the chest.
- both Hilary shades are normal? Means there are no nodes or any other disease that can be seen on X-rays.
- the cardiothoracic ratio is normal limits > As it indicates > Normal
- both domes of the diaphragm are normal > Normal. CBC report --- Red cell distribution width -- 15.60% in scale of 11.50 -- 14.50. TLC --13.70 in a scale of 4.00 --10.00 >
In this report, the White cell count is raised means there are more chances that this to be due to Pneumonia or so.
