What does the following mean? No significant mediastinal lymphadenopathy, pleural effusion or pleural thickening is evident.No evidence of underlying bone erosionm widening of the neural foramina or extension of the lesion to the spinal canal to suggest neurogenic tumour such as neurofibroma The above is the impression of my HRCT scan of my chest to rule out TB as part of routine medical check up.

There is no significant finding in your HRCT. Mediastinal lymphadenopathy, pleural thickening, effusion, bone erosion can all be signs of tuberculosis. But none is present in your scan. It indicates that this structures are normal. However, you did not mention the impression on lung parenchyma. If there are no findings in that as well, then it is a normal scan.
