chest xray indicated small nodular density seen in left upper lobe superimposed over the second left anterior rib as well as two vague small left basilar density seen one projected above and the other below the 7th anterior rib. No infiltrate or other acute lung abnormality is observed. No effusions. Can you shed some light
You will need to ask your doctor whether you will need further testing (i.e. a CAT scan of your chest). The findings on the chest xray are non-specific.
