Normal: This sounds like a description of the negative findings on a chest x-ray. Pa refers to the way the x-ray was taken. Tbc refers to tuberculosis. In other words no abnormalities found - a normal chest x-ray.

Normal picture: Depending on the history given to radiologist, he-she is trying to say no identifiable major lung issue seen! and be specific and thorough in a smoker with symptoms. May still need broncho scope which looks at inner lining of trachea and bronchi in patient with symptoms after customary treatment including smoking cessation, .

Seems ok: I'm getting this was the interpretation of your chest xray. You should check with your doctor to be sure, but sounds like everything was pretty normal unless you left something out.

Normal xray report: Sounds like a normal chest xray report. What are your symptoms & reason for the chest xray? If it's cough, it can be from smoking. Bronchitis, if mild, can be difficult to see on a chest xray & may appear normal.
