The findings from a chest X-ray and lung scan are typically reviewed and interpreted by a radiologist, a medical doctor specialized in imaging techniques. They analyze the images for abnormalities and provide a detailed report to the referring physician, who then discusses the results with the patient. In some cases, pulmonologists may also review these scans to correlate findings with clinical symptoms and manage respiratory conditions.

How do chest tubes work to fix a collapsed lung?
I am not in the medical field. But if a lung collapses it means that there is air getting between the lung and the chest cavity creating pressure against the lung. A tube placed in the chest wall will relieve the pressure there. When the lung fills with air it pushes the air out of the tube. Then you can block the tube to give the chest cavity back the slight vacuum it had before. That is why your chest expands when you breate in. I hope this is right and I am not stepping on any toes out there.

What does nil focal in a chest xray mean?
"Nil focal" on a chest X-ray indicates that there are no localized abnormalities or lesions detected in the lung fields or surrounding structures. Essentially, it suggests that the examination did not reveal any focal opacities, masses, or other concerning findings. This is generally a positive result, indicating a normal appearance of the chest.
Where is whooping cough in the body?

What is phenumothorax?
Literally "air in the thorax", or air in the chest (where it shouldn't be) When air leaks anywhere in the space between your lung and chest wall (normally filled with slippery fluid) it increases the pressure around your lung, and pushes on your lung. This leads to your lung collapsing in on itself, because the pressure required for it to inflate is much smaller than the one keeping it deflated. Usually, you only get a fraction of your lung truly collapsed.
