Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Findings suggests hyperaerated lung fields.It is due to trapping of air in conditions like COPD,chronic asthma etc.You need clinical correlation and if there is any associated physical problem it should be treated.

Atheromatous aorta is age related finding and it is important to see for conditions like hypertension,diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia.It is because these conditions accelerate atherosclerosis.

Thoractic osteophytosis is presence of osteophytes in thoracic vertebra.It is also age related changes.

Take Care
