This isn't my area of expertise, but I can give you an idea of what it is. The costophrenic angle is the location where the diaphragm attaches to the lower 6 ribs at approximately a 30 degree angle. Effacement normally refers to thinning and can be a thinning to the point of absense. I can only guess that "slight effacement" either refers to a thinning of the attachement to the ribs or a thinning of the diaphragm itself. My guess is a thinning of the attachement. If anyone has the answer, I would be interested in clarification also.
What else can I help you with?

"Minimal blunting of the left costophrenic sulcus" refers to a slight change in the normal sharp angle where the diaphragm meets the chest wall on the left side, which could be seen on a chest X-ray. This finding is often non-specific and can be caused by various conditions, such as lung inflammation or fluid accumulation. Further evaluation may be needed to determine the underlying cause.
