What Does This CTA Chest With Intravenous Contrast Results Mean?
Can u explain my CTA chest w/ intravenous contrast results? The central airways are patent. There is minimal dependent atelectasis within the lung bases. no focal airspace consolidation, pleural effusion or pneumothorax. There is scarring within the right middle lobe no suspicious pulmonary nodule or mass.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you shoild not worry about this report. As your CT report is normal.
Minimal atelectesis in lung bases is a normal variant. No active treatment is required for this.
And no need to worry for scarring. As scarring suggest old lesion only. You may have previous pneumonia which healed and produce scarring.
So no need to worry with this CT report.
