HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, unfolded aorta is not the sign of any disease, and rest of the finding needs to be correlated with clinical condition for which the x-ray being done, hila is anatomic region in lungs in middle of the chest but it is less concern here more is your clinical condition and that is not being given here hope this information helps.
