What Does This Chest X-ray Report Indicate?

I was just recently diagnosed with Crohn s disease. Biopsies show there are Granulomatous in my colon. My doctor sent me for a chest xray & CT scan. The chest xray report said there may be some minimal chronic appearing apical pleural parenchymal scarring on the right lung . What does this mean and does it have anything to do with Crohn s?
