Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Your X-ray report suggests that there is some doubtful lesions in right upper lobe which can’t be evaluated properly due to overlying bones there.
You need separate apical view for seeing apical portion of lungs. If it is still doubtful then CT scan can be done.
Transverse diameter of heart is also increased means there is cardiomegaly in transverse diameter.
Rest of the findings are normal.
Hope you have understand the terms.
Take Care
