A member asked:

My father has just gone thru a chest xray. the report says left costophrenic angle is rounded. what does this mean? is it a serious problem?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: It means that the left lower corner of the chest may either be scarred or may have minimal fluid there. Either way, it is probably nothing to worry about.
