pneumonia in x ray

Hilar regions may be difficult to evaluate due to the complex anatomy in this region. Additional information from the lateral view of the chest x-ray as well as the symptoms present, may help with the evaluation. With regards to your x-ray result, the assessment of the radiologist is possible pneumonia. For proper diagnosis, it is best that you have this checked by your doctor for proper evaluation. Take care and do keep us posted.

Had a chest X-ray as a follow-up to Thyroid Cancer and they said that looked OK but X-ray showed what looked like old scaring. What does that mean?

I called the doctor and they said to discontinue the inhaler since the pain got worse five minutes after I used it and to get another x-ray done. I went to the hosptiol and got an x-ray done. I asked if they saw the knife still stuck in my side (that's how it felt). The tech didn't say a word other than to be careful driving home. They sent me home. On the seventh day, I could not take the pain any longer.

Well defined opacities in lung on X-ray can be due to a benign or malignant nodule, tuberculosis, pneumonia or any infarct or granulomatosis. The opacities can also be diffuse—as seen in as in fluid collection, fibrosis, asbestosis, silicosis, tuberculosis etc. You will need more specialized tests like CT chest for a confirmed diagnosis. If you do not have any symptoms, there may not be a cause of concern, as this may be a benign nodule that may just need an annual follow-up.

I had an x ray because they thought I had pneumonia or a blood clot, they put two heavy duty abdominal shields over me and the baby is fine.

I recently had a chest x-ray for chest tightness and shortness of breath. The x-ray came back normal except the doctor stated in his findings that my interstitium was slightly coarse for my age. What does that mean? I tried doing research about it and all I could find was information about Pulmonary Fibrosis and Hypersensitivity Pneumonia. I am starting to get a little concerned. Any information would be helpful.

Four days later I received a call from the clinic saying the x ray tec saw signs of emphysema. I went in foe a follow up and was told I had moderate to severe emphysema based on this x ray alone. I have no symptoms except a little short of breathe when I was sick. The x ray did show pneumonia also. I was referred to a pulmanoligist but I am extremely scared.

Naturally, this was painful, but in March, he started having a fever and bad cough. The chest x ray showed pneumonia in the right lower lobe. Doc gave him a Z pak and he came in for a f/u cxr on 4-15. (I actually did this cxr so I saw myself what looked like he still had pneumonia). The cxr showed he still had pneumonia and also a small pleural effusion and CT was recommended. Holy cow...the ct showed three lung masses in the RLL---the largest is almost 7CM....

I noticed the other day her cough, (this is the only symptom shes had), had came back a little worse then it was before. So we go to the dr and have another x-ray and shows pneumonia in the same spot, same size and everything.

The past few days I thought I had a minor cold since I was coughing a bit, have a headache, and feel a bit of pressure while breathing. I figured I would just wait it out because a cold isn't anything to worry about. Well, my husband had the same symptoms as well, but when he woke up today, it was harder for him to breathe so he went to the hospital and found out he had walking pneumonia but was given nothing to treat it because they said he has to get over it himself.

Thanks doctor.My baby son's dob is 22nd sept 2009.23rd september he started having breathing problem.Doctor adviced us to get it x-rayed.first x- ray result was "consolidation right lung ---? Pneumonitis.Again we did another x-ray on 26th sept but this time as per the another radiologist it was "interposition of colon between right dome of diaphragm and liver ---Chiladiti Syndrome" and again on 7th feb 2010 we have done another x-ray and this time another radiologist says - ?

I went to the ER, had another chest x-ray, and was told I had Viral Pneumonia. I was given different medications (and an inhaler with aerochamber) and sent home. The medicine was actually starting to work until it ran out. I finally got in to see my regular doctor. He examined me and decided something had irritated my lungs. He put me on an Advair inhaler. A week later there was no difference, so I saw the doctor again.

I am very worried about a radiologist’s request for a repeat X-ray after 6 weeks I presented to Gp with chest infection symptoms. He sent me for chest X-ray after 2 days doc rings to say I have to go for another in 6 wks. I am freaking out. Could it be they think I’ve cancer? Clinical history states on form, recent chest infection radiologist requests repeat in 6 wks. What’s difference between chest infection and pneumonia?

Cancer tends to show up as nodules. The Chest X-ray though would have a limited capacity, and occasionally may mistake two, especially if there is fluid between the lung and the enveloping rib cage to obscure the findings. Your oncologist would probably suggest a CT scan if there is no improvement of symptoms. Do you have any bone pain, back pain? Pain in the upper abdomen?

It is terrific that the repeat x-ray showed much improvement but you should have another x-ray in a month or so to confirm complete resolution of the pneumonia, especially if you are a cigarette smoker.

I went to another doctor when I had the chance, about a week later, who was able to take an x-ray and say for sure it was pneumonia. I was put on a z-pak, prednisone for a sore rib/muscle from coughing, and an inhaler and delsym for the cough. The zpak was the kind where I took a pill for five days, but it would last for ten days, and I'm on day 8 and I still have the same cough I had before (muscle pain too, the prednisone didn't seem to help but that's not the problem).

I hope this will get the sinus cleared up. No chest x-ray. When he was in hospital with pneumonia he had five x-rays done then.

I recently underwent a two week course of Levaquin for pneumonia. On the follow-up visit with my doctor, a chest x-ray showed "right basilar opacity," which caused my doctor to order a CT scan. What does this mean?

another doctoc send me for an X-ray and it showed a small patch of pneumonia, given levaquin, had a reaction in the middle of the time line to take it, had to stop and start another anti-biotic the next day. went a week feeling better but cough persisted, did a ton of yard work, the next day felt like crap, ran a fever, some serious coughing, and tightness in my chest went to the ER and X-ray and CT showed it was still there but more specifically it was Reticulnodular opactices in my RLL.

Two docs disputed at that time whether I had pneumonia or there was something else on the x ray. I have always had shortness of breath and breathing issues since I was an infant. Could this be the cause? I eat healthy, am at a healthy weight, and work out. I have also always been plagued by digestive issues since childhood which have gotten much worse over time. Any advice? I made an appt. with a gastroenterologist.

Hi everyone, I'm 20 weeks pregnant and my doctor just called me that mm y tb test is inconclusive. She did 3 times, so she suggested to get a chest xray, but I've had this problem since i was young. I always test positive on the skin or inconclusive in blood testing. I get the x-ray and it's always negative. Should i just skip or go through with x-ray? I'm fine-- no symptoms or anything. I just don't want to put my baby at risk.

An opacity on the left upper lung field on chest x-ray could mean a lot of things. Did the x-ray reading indicate how big the opacity is, and what it's shape is? Opacities which appear as an indistinct haziness or as streaks may indicate infection (e.g. pneumonia or tuberculosis). Bigger rounded opacities may signify a possible malignancy or TB. Multiple pinpoint densities on the upper lung field could also imply tuberculosis.
