This is a PA (posteroanterior) chest X-ray from GRMC JAH Gwalior, dated 23-05-2026, patient ID 49891 (RISHAU).
Key findings:
Mediastinum / Trachea
Trachea appears midline
Mediastinal width looks within normal limits
Lungs
Right lung: lung fields appear relatively clear with normal bronchovascular markings
Left lung: lung fields also appear clear; no obvious consolidation or pleural effusion
Diaphragm
Right hemidiaphragm is well-defined
Left hemidiaphragm: there is a large air-fluid/gas-containing shadow beneath the left hemidiaphragm, with a bubbly/haustrated appearance - this is consistent with gastric fundus / splenic flexure of colon lying high under the left diaphragm, which can be normal, but the prominence is notable
Cardiac silhouette
Heart size: cardiomegaly is present - the cardiothoracic ratio appears greater than 0.5, suggesting cardiomegaly
Left heart border is prominent, suggesting possible left ventricular or left atrial enlargement
Bones / Soft tissue
Cervical spine visible at the top - no obvious bony lesion
Ribs appear intact bilaterally
No obvious pneumothorax
Notable observation
There appears to be a foreign body / wire-like structure at the neck region (visible at the top) - possibly a necklace or ECG lead artifact
Summary / Impression:
Cardiomegaly - likely dilated cardiomyopathy or other cardiac pathology; clinical correlation recommended
Lungs are relatively clear - no overt consolidation, effusion, or pneumothorax
Prominent subdiaphragmatic gas on the left (likely gastric/colonic)
Foreign body artifact at neck level
