What Does This Chest X-ray Report Indicate?

I have went for a Chest X ray and the radiologist reported that Vague low density noted in the outer aspect of the right upper zone measure about 0.5cm. Follow-up is suggested. How the doctor told me he was unable to spot any thing wrong with my X ray

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello Dear. A low density may suggest a small lump or abscess or sometimes just an artifact while taking xray. The doctor needs to correlate with your history, signs and symptoms before arriving at a diagnosis.

I suggest you to go to a pulmonary physician who will take your thorough history, elicit signs and symptoms and correlate things with xray changes and arrive at a definitive diagnosis.

Hope i have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I ll be glad to help you.
All the best
With warm regards
