I recently got a chest X-ray after being treated for pulmonary TB back in 2002. I was cured after taking medication for six months. Now, my X-ray report from March 16, 2017, shows calcified fibro nodular densities in both upper lung fields, but everything else seems finelungs are clear, trachea's in the midline, heart's not enlarged, and the costophrenic angles are sharp and distinct. The report concludes there's a chronic inflammatory process in both upper lung fields. Could you help me understand what this means? I'm a little concerned and would appreciate your insight.

Based on the X-ray findings, the calcified fibronodular densities in both upper lung fields suggest scarring from a past tuberculosis infection, which is common after successful treatment. These changes are generally stable and not a cause for concern, but its important to follow up with your healthcare provider for regular monitoring.
