Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What does this reading mean? Lungs and pleura: Redemonstration of multifocal irregular consolidative masslike opacities in both lungs with associated architectural distortion and linear fibrotic strands. Many of the consolidative masslike opacities demonstrate central areas of cystic change/cavitation and are better visualized on prior CT chest from 08/18/2016. Scattered areas of paracicatricial or smoking-related emphysematous changes again noted in both lungs. There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax.
This scan shows patient has form of restrictive lung disorder and needs treatment for the same. The multiple condolidated opacities need to be closely examined to rule out malignancy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harshita,
Ophthalmologist
