A member asked:

Xray in 2019, result says suspicious densities are seen in right upper lobe, had an apicolordotic view and came out normal. xray in 2020 result is the same this time left upper lobe, apicolordotic result normal again. no history of lung desease?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Did you have a TB skin test and was it negative? Densities in the upper lobes are suspicious for TB, inactive or active, but normal apicolordotic views are reassuring. In females sometimes long hair causes upper lobe densities which would be artifacts. If you still have concerns, consult a pulmonologist &he/she will advise you about further testing like chest CT scan,etc.
