Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
There is increased white appearance of the lungs next to the right heart border. This region is often occupied by the right lung middle lobe. It is possible that you that you have got a condition leading to inflammation of the right lung middle lobe. This is better evaluated by a CT scan chest.
Non specific means that it is not possible to point out the cause on X ray.
The heart and diaphragm are normal.
