FINDINGS:               An examination of the chest shows the lungs to be well expanded and free of active or acute disease.  There is interstitial and parenchymal pulmonary scarring probably reflecting the patient’s smoking habit.

Heart size and contour is normal.  Perihilar and upper lobe vascularity is normal.

Hemidiaphragms are normal with clear costophrenic angles.  A lateral chest radiograph shows a clear retrocardiac space and the posterior sulcus is clear.

Incidentally noted is a mild dextrorotatory scoliosis of the lower thoracic spine.

IMPRESSION:        Mild interstitial and parenchymal pulmonary scarring probably reflecting the patient’s smoking habit.

Thank you for the referral.
