what is suspicious right upper lobe streaky and hazy density means
Hi. My brother had an x-ray done few days ago and had an impression of suspicious right upper lobe streaky and hazy density. He was also recommended to do an apicolordotic view correlation.
What does this imply? Does my brother has a problem in his lungs?
Hi.
Your brother’s chest x-ray showed suspicious right upper lobe streaky and hazy density and an apicolordotic view is needed to confirm its presence.
This only means that there may be infiltrates in your brother’s right upper lung lobe. The cause of which can be a possible pulmonary tuberculosis or pneumonitis, or even prominence of bronchovascular markings.
It is always best to correlate the result of any diagnostic examination with the symptoms a patient may be experiencing.
Good luck.
