What Is The Meaning Of The Chest X Ray?
had a chest xray -results increased left retrocardiac opacity, a developing infiltrate is not excluded, no sizable effusion or pneumothroax - what does that mean - e-ray was to check for pneumonia or bronchitis - does any of it have anything to do with cancer

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
According to the reports,there is increased radio opaque density behind the heart area in left side,it may be due to infection.
Most probably it is not related to cancer.However CT Scan of thorax can be done for confirmation.
There is no e/o pleural effusion or pneumothorax.
Hope i have answered your query.
Take Care
