Radiologist / pulmonologist for x ray
Recently I did medical exam to go Kuwait. They found small speck of calcification near right hilum on chest x ray and declared as unfit. Outside medical centre says chest x-ray was normal and CT scan also suggest no calcification seen in lung field. Two time I did x-ray outside and there is no calcification in chest x-ray.
What is the reason behind on and what causes for calcification if present?

Hello.... Usually no one straight away reject candidate on the basis of x ray.. They temporarily reject and you can reapply with CT scan ,this scan gives better resolution.. Ask to review decision with CT scan report.. It could be artifact.... If you had previous tuberculosis there is chance of calcification.
