Confused lang oh ako dun sa sinabi ng doctor ko before, way back 2015 na diagnose ako na may latent tuberculosis ( di sya active na TB and Can't spread from person to person) then Undergo ako ng treatment for six months, natapos ko naman po ung treatment a year after nag pamedical ako which is kasama X-ray nakita oh sa X-ray ko clear na yung lungs ko then bumalik ako sa doctor ko pinakita ko sa kanya sabi nya oh may nakikita parin po daw sya na scars sa upper left ng lungs ko..naka tatlong X-RAY mula ng matapos treatment ko sa kanya nako lahat clear po... Posible po bang nagkamali yung tatlong Radiologist na nag X-ray sakin or yung doctor ko nagkamali? or maybe mag second opinion po ako?

Hi! Reading radiographs (xray plates) can be highly variable depende aa expertise ng nagbabasa. If 3 na ang nagbasa na clear vs 1 who says otherwise, then you'd be the judge. Theoretically tho, it is actually possible na may scar talaga syang nakikita. Anyone who had TB, even after treatment, may have lung scars. Kumbaga sa sugat, kapag natamaan ang baga, posible itong magkapeklat. It will aleays be there kahit ikaw ay walang sintomas at tapos ng mag gamutan.
