My mom just went in for a chest X-ray and this was the report she got back:
"On the standing summation image of the thoracic organs, there is a visible, pronounced horizontal interlobar fissure on the right side.
The diaphragmatic domes show normal, sharp contours. The lateral costophrenic sinuses are well-differentiated and clear. The hilar vascular pattern appears appropriate. There is an enlarged cardiac shadow and aortic configuration."
I’m completely lost here—could someone please break this down for me? I don't have the slightest clue
what any of this actually means. Thanks in advance for the help.
