X-Ray Findings
Technique:
Posteroanterior (PA) radiograph of the chest obtained.
Adequate inspiratory effort and exposure achieved.
No significant motion artifact noted.
Prior studies:
No prior imaging available.
Lung Fields:
Mild bilateral hilar vascular congestion/prominence is noted.
A subtle peripheral opacity is seen in the right lower lung zone.
No focal dense air-space consolidation or suspicious pulmonary
mass lesion identified.
Pleura:
Mild pleural thickening is noted at the right lung base
with blunting of the right costophrenic angle.
No pneumothorax detected.
Left costophrenic angle is clear.
Cardiomediastinal Silhouette:
Cardiac size and configuration are within normal limits.
Mediastinal contours appear unremarkable.
Hila:
Mild bilateral hilar vascular prominence/congestion is noted.
No significant hilar mass or asymmetric hilar enlargement identified.
Diaphragm:
Right hemidiaphragm is mildly elevated.
Left hemidiaphragm is normally positioned.
Right costophrenic angle is mildly blunted.
Left costophrenic angle is clear.
Trachea & Airways:
Trachea is central in position.
No significant airway deviation or focal narrowing noted.
Visualized Bones:
Visualized bony thorax appears intact.
No acute osseous abnormality identified on this study.
Soft Tissues:
Visualized soft tissue shadows are unremarkable.
Impression
Mild right basal pleural thickening
with mild blunting of the
right costophrenic angle and mild elevation of the right
hemidiaphragm. Mild bilateral hilar vascular prominence/congestion
with subtle peripheral right lower-zone opacity.
Recommendation
Clinical correlation is recommended.
Limitations / Technical Factors
Plain chest radiography has limited sensitivity for subtle
pulmonary and pleural abnormalities. Correlation with clinical
findings is recommended. Further evaluation may be considered
if clinically indicated.
