Missed collapsed lung

I was hospitalised last year with on going issues but during my stay the x-rays did not pick up the fact that I had a collapsed lung. It was only later with a CT scan that it was identified. When I next saw the consultant they said that the new x-ray had shown improvement, but if they never saw it in the first x-ray how did this one show the improvement when it should've still been hidden by my heart.
