Question 1

what is a borderline chest xray for tb mean?

Accepted Answer

TB on CXR. : That could mean that, in isolation, the findings on the Xray image could be consistent with those found typically with TB. But X-rays like these are not to be interpreted in isolation. Your clinical presentation and results of other testing would be important as well.

Question 2

how concerning is borderline dynamic instability of the c3-c4 in an x-ray report?

Accepted Answer

Ask ordering dr.: Cervical spine instability is usually assed by flexion and extension lateral projections using plain radiography or CT. Usually performed when people have cervical spine pain possibly related to trauma. Borderline instability probably means there was equivocal movement of C3 on C4. Finding has to be correlated by your physician with your symptoms and physical exam.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Often, the word borderline is used to describe a finding in radiology that is at the upper or lower limits of normal.  For more specificity in your case, i would need more information.

Question 4

Question 5

i had a chest xray and the results came back boarderline. what does this mean? i have been coughing for 6 wks very poorly for 2 wks but on mend now.

Accepted Answer

Without the films: It's not possible to provide you more detail. Sorry! If your doctor can't be reached about this now, you could try calling first thing in the am. Make an appointment and see if you can have your doctor go over the X-ray with you and explain what is there. I think that is your best bet. Feel better soon!

Question 6

x-ray shows borderline enlarged heart, with slight curvature of spine. my heart echo looked good with rest hr 58-68, ef was 64-71. should i be concern?

Accepted Answer

The xray: finding was likely spurious, a chest xray is not the most accurate way to evaluate heart size unless it is grossly abnormal.  A "borderline" enlarged heart on chest xray is usually normal, which was confirmed on your echo.

Question 7

non-specific t wave abnormality: borderline ecg. after blood work and chest x ray, hospital said it was just anxiety. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

: Given the vague description of the test findings no reasoned answer is possible. Only those with your full history/exam and test findings have the basic data needed to give advice on your case. If you want a second opinion go get evaluated,

Question 8

borderline positive anti-jo-1 during routine checkup as part of ulcerative colitis. also positive for atypical x-anca. no clinical symptoms of myositis. chest-xray, cpk, pft, esr , crp all normal. wondering what could be the reason for anti-jo-1?

Accepted Answer

: A form of autoimmune disease should be considered. A consultation with GI and Rheumatologist may be helpful.

Question 9

i have severe dyspnea yet after every test imaginable (xray's, ct, mri, tee, right & left heart cath diagnosed with borderline copd, minor scaring). recent complete blood test revealed low ferritin, high total iron, slightly low hemoglobin of 12.7 l?

Accepted Answer

: Although status of COVID-19 and length of time with dyspnea was not in your question,  respiratory complaints are common with COVID-19, and can persist for many months after an active infection.  If your physical activity is limited and has been for some time, gradual increase (walking at comfortable pace for increasing periods, etc) may improve your condition.
