FINAL REPORT
 PORTABLE AP CHEST X-RAY
 
 INDICATION:  Patient with hypoxemia, probable pneumonia.
 
 COMPARISON:  Multiple chest x-rays from ___, to ___.
 
 FINDINGS:
 
 There is no pneumothorax. Diffuse ground-glass opacities in both lungs which could be a mix of pulmonary edema and pneumonia are unchanged. Tracheostomy and right-sided PICC line are in adequate position. Pleural effusions are small, if any. New right-sided hemodialysis catheter ends in the lower SVC. The lung volumes are lower and new bibasilar opacities, left more than right, is mainly explained by atelectasis.
 
 CONCLUSION:
 
 Superimposed infection or aspiration cannot be excluded in appropriate clinical setting. New bibasilar opacities, left more than right, are probably explained by atelectasis. Superimposed infection or aspiration cannot be excluded.
