Summarize the radiology report findings into an impression within 3 sentences.
    INPUT: The patient is status post left upper lobe segmentectomy with continued rightward shift of mediastinal structures and volume loss within the left hemithorax . Left - sided thoracotomy and pleural thickening remain similar compared to the prior study as does the consolidative opacity within the left lung base . Peripheral opacity within the right upper lobe is worse compared to the prior chest radiograph , and present on the prior CT , compatible with an area of infection . Previously noted nodular opacities in the right lung base seen on CT are not well assessed on the current exam . No right - sided pleural effusion is demonstrated , and there is no pneumothorax . No acute osseous abnormalities demonstrated .
    OUTPUT:
    
Peripheral opacity within the right upper lobe compatible with infection is similar compared to the prior CT , but worse compared to the prior chest radiograph . Known nodular opacities noted in the right lung base on CT are not as well visualized on the current exam . Post - operative changes within the left hemi thorax are unchanged .
