Chest xray shows bibasilar hazy opacities may represent soft tissue artifact or mild airspace disease. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Xray artifact: The word "artifact" indicates the radiologist thought perhaps there is nothing wrong at all, just some minor variation in the appearance of your lung tissue. OTOH, presumably the xray was done for a reason -- maybe symptoms that could be explained by such opacities? Speak with the doctor who ordered the xray. Good luck.
