T3-2D RADIOLOGY REPORT, CHEST

However, the side hole is still within the distal esophagus. Suggest advancement. Lung markings are unchanged. Opacity noted in the right lung base unchanged, and may be due to atelectasis and/or some scarring. Need to follow to document clearance. Multilevel spurring of the spine. Aortic atherosclerotic disease. There is some minimal blunting of the posterior sulcus on the left, perhaps due to pleural thickening and/or effusion.
