    INPUT: Frontal and lateral views of the chest were obtained . Right lower lobe consolidation has significantly decreased in the interval , with mild residua remaining . There is near - diffuse opacity of the left hemithorax with some areas of lucency in the left lung and the left upper lobe which may represent slightly improved aeration . There is subsequent again marked hyperexpansion of the right lung with displacement of the mediastinal contours to the left . Patient has reported history of prior left lower lobectomy . The cardiac and mediastinal silhouettes are unable to be accurately assessed due to the left hemithorax opacification . There is severe compression of a vertebral body at the thoracolumbar junction , without significant interval change . Posterior fusion hardware is also seen at the upper lumbar spine again .
    OUTPUT:
    
1 . Interval improvement in superior right lower lobe consolidation with mild residual opacity remaining . Suggest followup to resolution . 2 . Status post left lower lobectomy with chronic opacity involving a significant portion of the left hemithorax and left - sided volume loss . There is slightly improved aeration of the left upper lobe .
