Ths term is usually used in interpretation of chest x-ray examination. It means irregular, thickened lines at the uppermost part of your lung, like a scar, caused by chronic reaction for some inflammation or infection. In my place it is mostly caused by tuberculosis.

Bilateral apical fibrosis is a term used when reading CT scan and x-rays. It refers to scarring from past infections in the lungs.

yes or you can die
Chronic means constant. Apical means relating to. Pulmonary means of the lungs. Fibrosis means the formation of excess fibrous connective tissue. So it means constant formation of excess fibrous connective tissue in the lungs.
No, biapical focal fibrosis is not the same as pulmonary fibrosis. Pulmonary fibrosis is a general term used to describe a group of conditions that cause scarring of the lung tissue. It is a progressive, long-term condition that can eventually lead to respiratory failure. Pulmonary fibrosis can be caused by a variety of factors, including environmental exposures, some medications, or underlying medical conditions. Biapical focal fibrosis is a specific type of pulmonary fibrosis. It is characterized by localized scarring of the lung tissue in two different areas of the lung, the apex and the base. This condition is more common in women and is often caused by an autoimmune response. Biapical focal fibrosis can be difficult to diagnose due to the localized nature of the scarring, but it can be identified through a combination of physical exam, imaging, and laboratory tests. Treatment options are limited and typically involve corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and other medications to slow the progression of the disease. In summary, biapical focal fibrosis is not the same as pulmonary fibrosis. While pulmonary fibrosis is a general term used to describe a group of lung diseases, biapical focal fibrosis is a specific type of pulmonary fibrosis characterized by localized scarring in two different areas of the lung.
What does mild apical lung scarring mean from the imaged lung apices?

Focal = Word
singing loudly
If by vector you mean the organism which causes it, there is none. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition.
apical pulse is actually the heartbeat
Pulmonary fibrosis is scarring of the lung. Apical means the finding was at the top peak of the lung. Chronic indicates long-standing. Atlectasis means areas of the lung that are not inflating, and multifocal means that it's present in multiple areas. So, to sum up, there is lung standing lung scarring at the peak of the lung with multiple areas that aren't getting air. The finding can be caused by toxic exposures, connective tissue disease, or infectious disease, and any treatment will be based on the underlying cause. The phrase indicates a radiologic finding, not a diagnosis.
