HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The radiologist found something but that is actually behind the bone and not possible to see the image so suggested to get the x-ray image from different angle, to see the lesion properly, the last x-ray taken from front side keeping the x-ray tube perpendicular to chest, now the tube will be placed in lower angle to the chest to avoid the bone image, hope this information helps you, have nice day.
