- Title:
- X-ray (chest), Adult Male, Tuberculosis
- Description:
- Findings:
Soft tissues of chest wall are unremarkable. Bones are intact.
Cardiomediastinal silhouette, aorta and pulmonary vasculature are normal.
Left hilar region appears elevated and there are streaky densities extending into the left upper lung zone. There is patchy density with some areas of confluence in the left upper lobe, more so in the apical region. Some cavitary areas are identified. The remainder of the lungs appear relatively clear with mild pulmonary hyperexpansion. There is left apical pleural thickening, remainder of the costophrenic angles are sharp.
Subdiaphragmatic structures are normal.
Impression: Infiltrates in left upper lobe, pleural thickening, hilar elevation, streaky densities and areas of cavitation are consistent with tuberculosis. Also consider old tuberculosis changes with superimposed pneumonia. Mild asthmatic changes also seen.
