Brief Answer:
Indicate old healed lesions.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your report.
It shows bilateral diaphragmatic humps.
The commonest reason can be fibrosis due to some old disease of lungs.
Another reasons can be enlarged liver and spleen pushing diaphragm up.
In some cases it can be idiopathic, meaning no specific cause found.
The confirmed diagnosis can be done only by CT scan of the lungs which includes upper abdomen too.
I hope this answer helps you to get you the proper clarification and getting through the hassles of immigration.
