A member asked:

What is meant by left subchondriacsoft tissue opacity?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Needs location: Very vague and not properly phrased. "Subchondriac" soft tissue opacity sounds very strange. Very likely to be some sort of artifact. Please, specify the location, aka. chest, leg, arm, etc.
