Chest x ray. small opacity left base believed to be a confluence of shadows. what does confluence of shadows mean in radiology?

One possibility: You may have a virtual consult on HT and upload the image/report. In general it means that there are several areas which come together to create one area of opacity. If you smoke, please quit smoking and follow up for any pulmonary symptoms.
