What Does This Chest X-ray Report Indicate?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. As you explain the chest x-ray findings, it would be better for her to do a chest CT for evaluating the lungs properly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
