Is it okay to get a chest CT scan with contrast? I've been having chest pain, but my X-rays came back normal, and my doctor suggested a CT scan just to be safe. Should I be worried about anything?

View allI'm due for a chest X-ray retest soon, and I'm really anxious about how to make sure my lungs show up clear. Do you have any advice or tips on preparing for it, or things I should do to improve my chances of a clear X-ray?
Infections seen on the chest x-ray will resolve once the infections come under control. Scars due to cigarette smoking won't resolve always but some can reduce after stopping smoking and exercising thoroughly. Keep yourself well hydrated. This isn't an assured method but has shown to help in few. I would advise you to meet a radiologist.

I'm worried about some ongoing health issues and wondered if a CT scan of the abdomen and chest might reveal problems with my aorta, diaphragm, or soft tissue. Could these areas show potential issues on this type of scan?
Yes.

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.
