The PA x-ray projection of the thoracic organs shows a well-inflated lung parenchyma

Hi! I can try to help you since I see no native Croatian offered help...

I am actually a native Slovenian speaker and, although a medical doctor, I am not extremely highly proficient in Croatian. :)

Anyway, from what I can tell, they are talking about a PA ( that's a type of projection) x-ray of the thoracic organs ( there is a mistake: grUdnih organa, not grAdnih). The lungs are well-inflated. The reports usually first state whether the patient has taken a deep enough breath to be able to display the lung parenchyma ( that is the lung substance) well enough to be able to conclude anything radiographically.

Basically, they are just saying that the x-ray was taken successfully, that lungs are seen well...

PA chest x-ray( radiograph not so commonly used in Eng) would be best ( though not a literal translation), it is most commonly used; thanks for the suggestion
neutral Milena Chkripeska : I wouldn't say that the term radiograph is not commonly used. http://depts.washington.edu/hivaids/oit/case2/fig1q.html

PA snimka = posteroanterior (or anteroposterior) radiograph

http://medlib.mef.hr/266/01/injamerniganeralic.pdf
See page 21

http://radiology.rsnajnls.org/cgi/content/figsonly/224/1/145

PA = involving orproduced in a direction from the back toward the front (as of the body or an organ)
The posteroanterior/anteroposterior chest radiograph shows NAD (no appreciable disease) of the pulmonary parenchyma. or The posteroanterior chest radiograph shows clear pulmonary parenchyma.

Thank you for your comment. As you can see, the whole sentence has been translated above the references. And there are 2 solutions, as well.
