A member asked:
What does subtle linear atelectasis/parenchymal scarring in the left mid and lower zones of the lungs mean? will this minimal scarring effect my day to day life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: What caused these abnormalities? Has that process/disease healed completely? If there is no more active disease, the abnormality your descried should not affect your day to day life. Wish you good health!
