Confused about chest x-ray results
by baalwww, Jun 27, 2008 04:03PM
I had a chest xray because of a positive ppd. The tb results were negative, but the radiology report said that there is 'mild stenois', 'scarring' and 'pleural thickening left lateral base vs clothing artifact' (the artifact was probably the tie of my gown). I'm 28, have never been sick other than the normal cold/flu thing, and had a chest xray 5 years ago that had nothing.
I'm going to be taking the xray to my doctor once I get my hands on it and get an appointment. In the meantime, should I be concerned? Is this an indication of previous damage, or something current, or merely an uncertainty by the radiologist as to whether it was my lung or my clothing?
