I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the x ray report you have mentioned.

They are group of diseases affecting lung interstitium.
You need to get done HRCT (High Resolution CT) thorax and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to identify type of ILD.
It will be of great help if you can send me picture of your x ray film.
