X-RAY CHEST PA/LATERAL

REASON FOR EXAM:  Pneumonia.
 
FINDINGS: Chest PA and lateral views show the heart to be normal in size. The lungs are hypoinflated. There is congestion of the central vessels, most likely due to the hypoinflated lungs. The lungs show no consolidation. Both hila and the costophrenic angles are unremarkable. Trachea is in the midline. The bony thorax is within normal limits.

IMPRESSION: No active lung disease. No significant change since previous x‑ray.
