A member asked:
I knew i had scars n my lungs and it shows n my xray..then i glance the comment n the radiologist assessment simple chronic bronchitis, what i do?

Lung scars: The scarring doesn't go away. If it is an unchanged, chronic finding, possibly the radiologist just chose to not mention it on the current report. If you are concerned, discuss it with your doctor....the radiologist could take another look and addend the original report with a comment on the scarring.
