Guest guest Posted June 2, 2000 Report Share Posted June 2, 2000 The patient is actually in the clinic for hearing loss. This portion of the assessment is the only mention of this x-ray abnormality: ASSESSMENT: 1. Ringing in the ears. 2. CT of the thorax has been ordered as a follow-up for his chest x-ray that mentioned some s/l obasities (or ovasities) that needed to be clarified and to rule out any nodules. Any ideas? Bev W.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2000 Report Share Posted June 2, 2000 I think I might be inclined to see if you can hear " opacities, " with the root word being opacity which means, (according to Stedman's electronic): 1. A lack of transparency; an opaque or nontransparent area. 2. On a radiograph, a more transparent area is interpreted as an opacity to x-rays in the body. 3. Mental dullness. Good luck, Obasities! > The patient is actually in the clinic for hearing loss. This portion of the > assessment is the only mention of this x-ray abnormality: > > ASSESSMENT: > 1.
