A member asked:

What is the meaning of "reticulohazy densities are seen in the right mid lung field"? is this is serious? it it is possible for tb?

Translation: When assessing a chest x-ray we like to see the patterns we are use to. The mostly air parts show up dark/black. The mostly tissue/structure parts show up white. Reticulohazy just describes a blurry/snowy like whitish that suggests tissue denser than expected. It is not specific to any one cause. The location mentioned is not suggestive of TB.

I agree with Dr.F. In situations like these,I sit down with the radiologist and get his/her differential diagnosis, advice re ordering other imaging tests like CT scan,obtaining pulmonologist consultation or mere!y.repeating the xray after treating a right middle lobe pneumonia if the clinical information supports such a diagnosis.
