Hi may i m 55 years old. I am a diabetic, i was asked to get the endoscopy done and the result was "calcified opacity" . Now i am asked to take the X-ray of the lungs. what is calcified opacity. what is the problem with me? can u please tell what exactly is the problem?can u brief me about the same and also its treatment.
Calcified opacity in the chest X-ray mean a healed infection which could be a bacterial infection or a fungal infection. In tropical countries, tb is the commonest cause.It's a healed past infection so no active treatment required.
