Good day!I have a question please help me to explain the result of my husband s x ray..I don t really understand what does it mean..There are no active pulmonary infiltrates.Both lungs are hyperaerated.Pulmonary vascular markings are within normal limits. The heart is not enlarged. Aorta is unremarkable.Trachea is midline. Sulci and osseous structures are intact.. Impression
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. I have gone through the x-ray report you have mentioned. No need to worry about tuberculosis because there is no consolidation or infiltration. Pulmonary hyperaeration means his lungs are hyperinflated. And this is commonly seen with smokers. So if your husband is active smoker then he should quit smoking immediately. Nothing is suggestive of tuberculosis so no need to worry. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
