Translation= The person didn't take a deep enough breath to be like a standard film. Atelectasis= lung not fully inflated. It is otherwise normal. Radiologists get fussed at if they just say normal, so the provide these details describing normal structures.

The description is commonly seen and reflects normalcy of the chest structures examined in this study, atelectasis otherwise not likely to reflect pathology.
