A member asked:
Chest xray for follow up metastatic colon cancer that says subsegmental platelike atelectasis in the right upper lung. no consolidating infiltrate or effusion is seen. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Translation=part of the right upper lung is not fully inflated. What it means in your case must be discussed with the doc who ordered the test. The wording does not suggest metastatic disease.
