What is slight effacement of the left costophrenic angle?

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.
