Is this my aortic arch?

Hi,

If anyone is willing to take a look at the picture here, It is the left side of my chest at the mediastinum which is being lifted. I think this is my aortic arch but not sure. Looks like a bulge to me. The ct showed left lung is larger and no mass or tumors which I wasn't concerned about. Something is making my chest grow under the rib at the mediastinum. Any help or clear information is appreciated.

Hi Eddie,

Thanks for taking a look. It hasn't given me anymore information. What is identified as my aortic arch is not this. You are very kind to take a look.

This part of the anatomy is less clear to me than would an x-ray of bone.  Obviously a report should have been generated with the x-ray reading, has that given you any information?  I wish I could be more helpful.
