RADIOLOGY REPORT

STUDY 1 - CHEST X-RAY (Supine)

Technique

Findings

• Bilateral diffuse coarse interstitial and reticulonodular opacities throughout both lung fields
• Right lower zone: Prominent cluster of cystic, ring-like lucencies with thickened walls - highly characteristic of cystic bronchiectasis or advanced fibrocystic lung disease
• Left lung: Increased bronchovascular and interstitial markings, less cystic than right

• Mildly enlarged cardiac silhouette; likely exaggerated by supine AP projection - clinical correlation for cardiomegaly/cor pulmonale advised

• Trachea: Midline
• Hila: Mildly prominent, possibly from pulmonary hypertension associated with chronic lung disease
• Left-sided central venous catheter (likely subclavian/internal jugular approach), tip projecting over lower SVC/upper right atrium - position appears satisfactory

• Bilateral blunting of costophrenic angles - suspect minor pleural effusions or pleural thickening

• No acute fractures; thoracic spine degenerative changes (osteophytes/spondylosis)

Impression

1. Severe chronic lung disease - bilateral cystic bronchiectasis predominantly in right lower lobe with diffuse interstitial changes
2. Indwelling central venous catheter - satisfactory position
3. Mild cardiomegaly - likely exaggerated by supine positioning; cor pulmonale cannot be excluded
4. Bilateral minor pleural effusions or pleural thickening

STUDY 2 - X-RAY ABDOMEN (Supine)

Findings

• Normal to mildly prominent gas distribution throughout small and large bowel
• Moderate fecal loading particularly in right colon (cecum/ascending) and rectosigmoid
• No abnormally dilated loops; no radiographic evidence of mechanical obstruction
• No signs of pneumoperitoneum on this supine view (limited sensitivity - erect CXR preferred if perforation suspected)

• Liver and spleen: Grossly normal in size; limited evaluation due to overlying gas
• Renal outlines: Partially obscured; no gross masses visible

• Prominent right-convex lumbar scoliosis
• Moderate-to-severe degenerative disc disease and spondylosis at the apex of curvature (disc space narrowing, marginal osteophytes)
• Mild bilateral hip joint degenerative changes (osteoarthritis)
• No acute fractures or dislocations

• No obvious urinary calculi; small stones cannot be excluded due to overlying bowel gas
• Small rounded radiopacities in lower pelvis - likely benign pelvic phleboliths (incidental)

Impression

1. Lumbar scoliosis (right-convex) with associated moderate-to-severe spondylosis/DDD
2. Moderate fecal loading - consistent with constipation
3. No bowel obstruction or obvious free air

STUDY 3 - X-RAY ABDOMEN (Supine)

Findings

• Normal distribution; no mechanical obstruction
• Moderate-to-severe fecal loading predominantly in left hemiabdomen and lower quadrants - more prominent than previous study (15-Jul-2026)

• Marked lumbar scoliosis - mid-lumbar spine deviating left with compensatory changes
• Prominent marginal osteophytes along vertebral body margins
• L4-L5 and L5-S1 disc space narrowing - advanced degenerative disc disease
• Findings indicate chronic degenerative joint/disc disease as a likely source of back pain

• Pelvic ring intact; no acute fractures
• Mild sacroiliac joint degenerative sclerosis
• Early-to-moderate bilateral hip osteoarthritis
• Bilateral psoas shadows partially obscured by scoliosis and fecal material

• Faint vascular calcifications in lower abdomen/pelvis - likely atherosclerotic calcification of abdominal aorta or iliac arteries (age-related finding)
• No large radiopaque urinary calculi visible

Impression

1. Marked lumbar scoliosis with advanced spondylosis - progression of degenerative changes vs. 15-Jul-2026
2. Worsening fecal loading compared to previous study - severe constipation
3. Minor vascular calcifications - incidental age-related finding

STUDY 4 - X-RAY ABDOMEN (Supine)

Findings

• Normal non-obstructive gas distribution
• Moderate fecal loading in ascending and descending colon

• Marked lumbar scoliosis with right-convex curvature
• Significant degenerative changes: osteophyte formation, disc space narrowing, subchondral sclerosis
• Generalized osteopenia - decreased bone mineral density throughout (common in elderly females)

• Right hip: Degenerative changes with external rotation positioning
• Mild bilateral sacroiliac joint sclerosis
• No acute fractures or aggressive bone lesions; osteopenia noted
• Right hip femur shows external rotation/abduction (positioning artifact vs. hip pathology - clinical correlation advised)

• Faint linear calcifications - likely atherosclerotic calcification of abdominal aorta/iliac vessels

Impression

1. Lumbar scoliosis with significant degenerative disease and osteopenia
2. Moderate fecal loading/constipation
3. Bilateral hip degenerative changes; right hip positioning - correlate clinically
4. Minor vascular calcifications

OVERALL SUMMARY & CLINICAL CORRELATION

• Respiratory: CT chest recommended to further characterize extent of bronchiectasis/interstitial disease; PFTs and cardiology review for cor pulmonale
• Spine: MRI lumbar spine if symptomatic for radiculopathy; physiotherapy/pain management referral
• GI: Address constipation with dietary advice, hydration, laxatives as appropriate
• Bone health: DEXA scan to formally assess bone density given osteopenia on plain films; consider calcium/vitamin D supplementation
• Identity verification: Confirm patient ID discrepancy (Gurmel vs. Gurmail, IDs 6008/6025/6055)
• Lines: Continue to monitor central venous catheter position
