What is linear fibrosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scar: It depends on the context. On a chest x-ray or ct, it probably refers to scar that forms a line or curve on the film. This may indicate prior illness or injury, but is not specific. Fibrosis (scarring) can sometimes limit the function of an organ, but may not be important.
