CHEST X-RAY, PA AND LATERAL VIEWS

INDICATION FOR STUDY:           Acute bronchitis.

FINDINGS:               An examination of the chest shows the lungs to be well expanded and free of active or acute disease, though some chronic interstitial pulmonary scarring can be seen.  Does this patient have a smoking history?

Heart size and contour is normal.  Hemidiaphragms are normal with clear costophrenic angles.

A lateral chest radiograph shows a clear retrocardiac space and the posterior sulcus is clear.

IMPRESSION:         No active or acute cardiopulmonary process is identified.


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