Summarize the radiology report findings into an impression within 3 sentences.
    INPUT: The orientation of the AP film is lordotic . A nasogastric tube courses into the stomach , it s distal course not visualized . The heart is at the upper limits of normal size with a left ventricular configuration . The mediastinal and hilar contours appear unchanged . There is new patchy opacification in the superior segment of the right lower lobe and also patchy new lingular opacification . On the lateral view only are vague posterior opacities that are hard to assess on the frontal view , but are probably within the left lower lobe in the retrocardiac region . On the prior CT there was substantial opacification in both posterior lower lobes , particularly the left ; the posterior left lower lobe finding may be due to residual atelectasis or scarring , probably unchanged since the most recent of the prior radiographs from ___ .
    OUTPUT:
    
Patchy new opacities in the right mid and left lower lungs , more suggestive of atelectasis than pneumonia . However , it may be appropriate to perform short - term follow - up radiograph to show that these resolved , particularly if there is any clinical concern for the possibility of pneumonia .
