It is difficult to interpret a x ray report in isolation without knowing the history, symptoms and clinical findings.
Hyper inflated lungs are suggestive of Obstructive lung disease like asthma or chronoc bronchitis/asthma. In obstructive lung disease, diaphragm may be flattened and may give an impression of pl effcusion/thickening.
Apical opaciries point towards an old or fresh lung infection.
As said above, more inputs are required to arrive at a diagnosis.
