Hi!

Scoliosis is an abnormal curving of the spine bone towards one side. Mild scoliosis is very common and is usually something that will not affect your life in any way.

Suspicious lung inflitrate in the right lung could mean any old focus of infection in the lung. If that is the case and you do not have any lung symptoms such as cough, breathlessness, wheezing, noisy breathing, fever, you should not worry too much. it may be just be an evidence of an infection that occurred sometime in the past that is healed.

Hope this helps.
