Hi,
Reticular shadow seen in your upper part of X-ray chest is the only positive finding and rest everything is fine with the X-ray. Reticular opacity may be due to any previous lung disease which has some leftover minor damage to the area. As per the report its not much and if other reports are fine and you are asymptomatic (without any problem) then you can ignore that finding.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
