CHEST X-RAY, PA AND LATERAL VIEWS - 17

CHEST X-RAY, PA AND LATERAL VIEWS

FINDINGS:               An examination of the chest shows the lungs to be well expanded and free of active or acute disease.  Heart size and contour is normal.  The patient has had a sternum splitting operation.

Perihilar and upper lobe vascularity appears to be normal and I see nothing to suggest shunt vascularity at this time.

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

IMPRESSION:
1.          Previous sternum splitting operation.
2.         No evidence of shunt vascularity.


Thank you for the referral.
XXXXXXXXXX, M.D.
