Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!
I passed carefully through your question and reviewed your chest X ray study, which is clear.
Regarding the vena cava obstruction, it usually is examined by Doppler ultrasound or trans-esophageal cardiac ultrasound.
A more accurate test to examine vena cava would be a chest angio-CT scan.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope to have been helpful!
I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need.
Wishing all the best,
