Help w/ Radiology report

This guy needs to speak English!!

He is talking about "frontal and lateral chest radiographs.

Can't tell if this heading is "IMPRESSION" or "DEPRESSION" (would there even be a heading of DEPRESSION?

Under whatever the heading is he says "Mildly increased perihilar (then sounds like he says LONG markings)"  Would that be LONG or LUNG markings?
