I've been feeling really worried because I started shivering and got a high fever just a few hours after my CeCT scan of the thorax. Should I be concerned about this, and is it something that could go away on its own in a day, or is it more serious?

I'm really worried about my mom's chest X-ray report. Can someone help me understand if everything looks okay or if there's something we should be concerned about?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I'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 trying to figure out the differences between a CT chest scan and an MRI chest scan. What are they each used for, and which one is supposed to be more accurate? I'm a bit anxious about the whole thing and would love some clarity on what each one might be best suited for.

CT for soft tissues , MRI is more for nerve related conditions
