my cousin has to wait until next week to get his results but would be interested to read some unoficial interpretations of his chest X-ray.

This is his Xray, what do you guys think?

In case you misssed the announcement at the top of this board, titled "WE DO NOT READ XRAYS HERE"

If you've arrived on this site to ask someone to look at images for you, or explain a finding, to ask about clinical decisions (why didn't they tell me..), you're not in the right place.

Those who frequent this forum are Radiographers, Sonographers and the like - we are specialized in performing diagnostic procedures and obtaining images which a physician (a Radiologist) will interpret.

Radiographers do not interpret images. We don't consult with your physician, we don't communicate the "results" to anyone. That's a job for a fully licensed physician who has spent multiple years after medical school specializing in the interpretation of diagnostic images - a Radiologist.

While we may sympathize with anguish or anger you may be feeling due to a missed diagnosis, or information you feel you should have had and did not get, we can neither explain nor assist.

Please speak directly to your physician , or contact another physician for a "2nd Opinion".
