Question 3

what's the meaning of a suspicious parenchymal nodule on my right lung ? this. showed on my last x-ray

Accepted Answer

Need to see a doctor: I assume this means a nodule was seen on your chest x-ray that looks like it may be dangerous. It usually requires comparison with prior x-rays and evaluation by a doctor.

Question 4

my x-ray results are minimal fibrotic scarring in the right uppuer lung, no parenchymal infiltrates seen, what does it mean?did i have an illnes?

Accepted Answer

Probably.: The scarring is a result of previous inflammation usually from infection. The location of the scarring on the x-ray raises the possibility of exposure to tuberculosis. You should get a TB skin test if you haven't received bcg. Go see the doctor.

Question 5

hrct scan chest result focal parenchymal fibrosis rt middle & left lower lobe.w/mammal residual ground glass/opacities. what is the meaning? prognosis

Accepted Answer

Hard to know: The findings indicate changes to lung structure in these areas, possibly some scarring and possibly with some fluid/inflammation of the smallest air pockets.  Without more knowledge of the clinical history, however, any meaningful interpretation is impossible.  The physician who ordered the test will discuss within context of the medical situation.

Question 6

what is  pleural parenchymal scarring  in the  upper lung?

Accepted Answer

History: Pleural scarring is using the result of an infection in the past that has healed.  It could have been anything from pneumonia to TB to a myriad of other causes.  It should be followed by xray or ct scan at intervals to make sure it is not increasing.

Question 7

what does subtle linear atelectasis/parenchymal scarring in the left and lower zones of lungs mean?

Accepted Answer

See below: Atelecatsis means some loss of lung volume, it could be mild and harmless with no symptoms at all, or might need more work up  like chest CT scan if there are symptom like shortness of breadth, long standing cough as well underlying history of smoking ,asthma,  or copd/ emphysema or other lung issues.  simple deep breathing exercises help in clearing secretions and increasing lung volumes

Question 8

what can cause scattered pulmonary parenchymal opacities in the upper lung?

Accepted Answer

Many things: A number of different things can cause this, from tumors (often metastatic), certain infections to autoimmune diseases. You will need additional studies such as a ct scan of the chest, blood work, and likely a visit with a pulmonary specialist.

Question 9

what does "dependent atelectasis is present posteriorly within the lungs.  mild biapical pleural/parenchymal scarring is present."  mean?

Accepted Answer

Benign findings: Dependent atalectasis is just compression of the dependent lungs when lying down. A normal finding, mild bi-apical scarring is simply symmetric scar formation at the top of both lungs, usually associated with aging. Don't worry.

Question 10

what does subtle linear atelectasis/parenchymal scarring in the left mid and lower zones of the lungs mean? will this minimal scarring effect my day to day life?

Accepted Answer

Depends: What caused these abnormalities? Has that process/disease healed completely? If there is no more active disease, the abnormality your descried should not affect your day to day life.
Wish you good health!
