What Does This Chest X-ray Report Indicate?
What does my chest X-ray mean, it says a laceration of right heart border ? It actually was a report from when I had pneumonia a few years ago and I m just reading it now. Opacification right infrahilar heart border and slight laceration of right heart border. Does this mean there is a slight rip in my heart?

Hello,
It means some discontinuity over the lung border not in heart. It might be due to old and healed infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
