Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Your report can be considered as normal.
Mildly prominent cardiomediastinal silhouette(cardiac and mediastinal shadows in X-rays) may be due to partial expiratory phase of the patient.Ideally it should be assessed in full inspiration.
Rest of the findings are normal like there is no pleural effusion,no pneumothorax.
Soft tissues and bony structures are also normal.
Hope i have answered your query.
Take Care
