Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
The x ray shows that he might have a Tuberculous or other infection which has caused a cavity on right upper lobe and effected the lung.The membrane around the lungs has some fluid or is thickened.This mostly secondary to infection.Aorta has some fat deposition.
Take care.
