A member asked:
What does new mild patchy opacities mean in a chest x-ray?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nonspecific: The chest xray may be the least specific part of your seeking medical care at this point. You will need to sit down with the ordering or followup physician and go over your specific symptoms and whether they are acute (less than 2 weeks) or chronic (greater than 6 weeks). This is very important for you to do in the next few days.
