04022009729.jpg

Inspiration or expiration.. dunno which.. can see from picture.. too blur.. but important thing is at first small pic.. u can see the black spot on left compared to the right side which is absent.. the black spot is pneumothorax.. shouldnt have the black spot there..

04022009730.jpg

the continuity of the previous scan..

this scan is actually taking full picture of your lung and cut it into section by computerized program.. so u can see the detail part of your lung..

no other significant findings except the small pneumothorax at apical (upper) part of lung.. so still dunno what’s the cause of it.

summary of all images into 1..

went to SGH ( sarawak General Hospital) to meet up Dr. Santhosh, radiologist in SGH after being referred by Dr. Thung, Cardiothoracic surgeon.. so i will be doing a HRCT ( High Resonance Computed Tomography) Scan on 3.2.2009..

He said we cannot do VATS without finding the culprit.. VATS is higher risk so they cannot simply do.. as he said.. so we’ll see after my CNY break.. lol

he said we cannot do VATS because of pneumothorax as to put in talc or watever.. we have to do VATS because XXX in ur lung is causing pneumothorax and we do VATS to remove or watever XXX.. most probably is a bulla
Happy CNY anyway..

And.. SP has no medicine.. either u suffer the pain doing nothing or u go for surgery.. even u take pain killer, it does not kill the underlying causes as well..

so.. beware for those thin, tall young adults..

when u feel pain on both sides, front n back,when u feel something  is moving inside ur chest, ah ha, go for X-ray…

X-ray’s radiation is way way lower than CT scan.. so don worry for getting a chest cancer  :D
