A member asked:

My doctor has missed things on past xrays that a second opinion found; i see a lot of white spots on my lateral chest xray-are they normal or not?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide an opinion without examining you and your imaging studies. In addition to the examination by your doctor, the radiologist should have provided a written opinion of the x-ray findings. Wish you good health!
