Cxr: "minimal hypoinflation present on last exam no longer seen. minimal patient rotation has appeared. there is clothing artifact at the left apex" ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: These statements are normal. They suggest that you took a deeper breath during this chest x-ray, you were slightly rotated to one side, and a piece of your clothing was in the way (often a metal buttong) when the x-ray was taken and it can be seen on the x-ray.
