A member asked:
Chest x-ray showed focal patchy lingular opacity no change from 2012 likely represents chronic airspace collapse &/or consolidation. is this serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No change good: No change is good. It means stable probably scarring or collapse (atelectasis) related to previous illness. Unless you have recurrent symptoms referrable to chest or subsequently develop other acute problems, then follow up on regular basis with your physician.
