nothing else was said except that a repeat chest xray is needed with nipple markers, it was in the left central lung base , then said probably was due to a shadow of the nipple, So i am going to have the xray done soon
it means that the density seen in your chest xray is probably caused by a projection of your nipple, simulating a nodule in the xray. About the dilation of the pancreatic duct it requires further investigation, see your doc.
