Atelectasis in right upper lobe: CT 0/25

2021-05-28 20:12:49
My son's (age 14) CT scan reads -- Small subsegmental atelectasis in the anterior segment of right upper lobe. Query: is that a minor issue? Does he need medicines to treat this. Tracheo-bronchial tree is normal. Mediastinal vasculature appear grossly normal on plain scan. No CT signs of Covid pneumonia. CORADS 1. CT severity score is 0/25

It is usually a minor issue. Do send the CT images if possible. Will have a look.
