A member asked:

What does faint opacity at lateral left lung base mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nondiagnostic: Such a report requires the ordering physician to sit down with the radiologist who interpreted the chest xray and ask the radiologist for a differential diagnosis,get advice about additional testing like a ct scan or follow-up chest rays or whether consultation with a pulmonologist or thoracic surgeon is advisable. An opacity could be a scar or an early growth or be nothing serious.
