Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly .
* Fibrotic strand signify any type of insult to the lung tissue through any
means .
* Vital information needed here that was X-ray chest carried out as a part of
pre-operative work up for cholecystectomy and was there fibrotic strands
in that ?
Kindly provide these details to correlate in a sound pattern .
Hope this helps you to some extent .
Feel free to ask any further health related questions .
