I'm a bit confused about these HRCT scans. Are an HRCT chest and HRCT lungs the same thing, or do they look for different issues? I'm trying to figure out if they cover different parts of the body or serve different purposes. Could you explain this to me? I'm feeling a bit anxious and want to understand what's going on.

View allI recently had a TB test and the results mentioned something called "tenting of the left hemidiaphragm." I'm curious and a bit worried about what might have caused this. Is it something serious, and could it be a sign of TB?
Tenting of the left hemidiaphragm can be caused by various factors such as inflammation, injury, or infection. While it may not directly indicate tuberculosis (TB), it could suggest other conditions affecting the diaphragm. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation to determine the cause.

I'm noticing a strange green color in my saliva and I've been having some trouble with my breathing. What could be causing this?
You seem to be suffering from acute viral upper respiratory tract infection which is a common type of throat infection. Usually if there is secondary bacterial infection green sputum is seen. You may need to take antibiotics, cough syrups and steam inhalation for faster recovery
