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.

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.

I just had my medical examination for a visa today and they had to take my X-ray 3 or 4 times because it wasn't coming out clear. Then they put this round iron thing with white tape on my nipple. Could this cause any problems or show up as some kind of opacity on the X-ray? I'm a bit confused about what this means.
