Are Heterogeneous Opacities Of The Right Mid-lung And Left Lung Base A Reason To Worry?
Hello, I was being checked over because I am going to have surgery soon a T10 PSO C3I had a chest X-Ray that stated Findings: Heterogeneous opacity in the right midlung and left lung bas, Mild elevation of the left hemidiaphragm. Postsurgical changes of the lower cervical spine. The heart is within normal limits. Impression: Heterogeneous opacities of the right midlung and left lung base. Whether these are acute or chronic is unknown. These appear to be new compared to images of a scoliosis series however the lungs are not well seen on the prior series. Direct comparison with any outside studies is recommended. Should I be worried?
