[|Human|] A frontal chest radiograph demonstrates patchy and linear left lower lung opacity, representing atelectasis or fibrosis. There is blunting of the right costophrenic angle, either due to minimal pleural thickening or fluid. What does this mean and should I be concerned?
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service.  I read your query and here is my answer. What symptoms do you have? Yes it is a matter of concern. As left is patchy, so it needs to have blunting of left side as well. Do you have any previous history of chest disease? It could be infection if you have fever, cough or shortness of breath. If you do not have any previous history of heart or lung disease, then it is moat likely you have got infection. You need to consult a pulmonologist for that. Hope I answered your question.  Feel free to ask more if you need further assistance.  Thanks.
