Brief Answer:
probably signs of chronic benign disease

Hi and welcome.
These findings are nonspecific and usually indicate benign changes due to chronic bronchitis or smoking. Minimal opacity is also seen as part of lung vessels atherosclerosis. In every case, there is no sign of tumor or malignant disease on this x-rays, but CAT-scan will be more specific and accurate.
