Had a lung scan it shows you have dependent hypoaeration?
Dependent hypoaeration on a lung scan typically indicates areas of the lung that are not fully inflated, often due to factors like fluid accumulation, lung disease, or positioning during the scan. This finding can suggest conditions such as pneumonia, atelectasis, or pulmonary edema. Further evaluation and clinical correlation with symptoms and history are necessary to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment. It's important to discuss these results with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive understanding.
