Follow til clear: Bronchial tubes are not usually well-visualized on chest x rays, and not being able to see them well is not a very helpful finding one way or the other. Your husband's chest x ray should be followed up until it's back to its baseline status. When and if he should be referred to a specialist is his doctor's call.
