I'm curious about something in a recent X-ray report. It mentions that my trachea is in the midline. Is this a normal finding, or should I be concerned about it? Would love to get your insights!

A midline trachea, as indicated by your X-ray report, is generally considered normal, as the trachea typically runs vertically through the thorax, slightly to the right of the midline, but a perfectly midline trachea can also be a normal anatomical variation.

Is there a need to keep my one-year-old HRCT chest scan films if they're normal? I'm wondering if storing them serves any purpose, or can I just get rid of them? I'm worried about clutter but also don't want to toss anything important for my future health. Do these old scans have any benefit for reference or upcoming doctor visits, or are they just unnecessary to keep?

I'm really concerned about the CT scan results that show a CT severity score of 2225. Could you please take a look at the report? I'm worried if this means we need to make an urgent appointment at the hospital.
