Brief Answer:
It's Normal.

Detailed Answer:
HI

Thanks for choosing HCM.

Well this report means everything is normal . Every human has 12 pairs of ribs . Underlying apices unremarkable means there is no abnormalities detected at the apices ( Apices means top portion of the lung )

So bottom line is It's a normal report.

Any clarifications feel free to ask.
