Out of context: Without knowing why the x-ray was taken, the symptoms, their duration, chronicity, acuity, etc., a description of findings on an x-ray without this other information is like watching the last few minutes of a movie without knowing the plot. It could be an infection, it could be inflammation, it could be blood, and among these, there are dozens of causes for each of them.
