Hi
I understand your concern.
Left Hemidiaphragmatic tenting means tented appearance of left hemidiaphragm which usually occurs in lobar collapse. In simple words, if any lobe of the lung loses it's volume & collapses due to any lung disease, then that side of diaphragm is retracted upwards forming a tented appearance.
Thank you
