What Causes Increased Markings Above The Aortic Curve As Seen In The X Ray?
I had a chest xray done and the findings were that there were increased markings above the aortic curve and that could represent a hilar vascular overlap however developing parenchymal process in this location cannot be excluded. These markings were only seen on lateral view. I would like to understand what are the possibilities of these markings.

Sometimes it could be just an artefact or not significant.
But if you have some symptoms like cough and breathlessness then we certainly need to exclude causes like sarcoidosis or cardiac congestion.
It is very difficult to interpret anything from the description of your xray report.
Kindly let me know the progress
