I'm a bit concerned about my X-ray results. It says both hila are prominent. Does that mean there's something structurally wrong, or could it indicate a different kind of issue? What should I be looking out for?

Hey, so I just got an HRCT chest scan for Covid-19, and it turns out there's subsegmental atelectasis in the posterior segment of my right upper lobe. Can someone tell me what this means? What might have caused it? Is this something serious like cancer? And is there a way to treat it? Also, where can I find a top doctor for this? A little backgroundI had TB back in 2010 and was treated for it, plus I do smoke.

I'm a bit worried because my x-ray results show I have a lung nodule. I'm applying to be a public teacher, and I don't have any pain or issues in my lung area, and I rarely cough. From what I know, a nodule isn't a communicable disease, so do you think I can still get a fit-to-work clearance?

Patient is advised bronchoscopy,FNAC and biopsy of the nodule for further management.Nodule biopsy is sent for cytology,micoscopy and AFB .Kindly review with the reports.
