Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi i just got my medical check up done & in the X Ray report says that bilateral lung show prominent bronchovascular marking, else every report is normal & prior to this i have taken these check up regularly & there is no observation .K8ndly advice to interpret this finding
Prominent bronchovascular markings in lung fields are visible markings made by blood vessels supplying nutrients to lungs. Causes are numerous. But common causes may be infection such as pneumonia, bronchial asthma, or chronic bronchitis. Also it is a normal finding in chest X – ray of people older than 60 years. Your age??? Do you have any respiratory symptoms like cough, fever, weight loss and hemoptysis or chest pain??? If you do not have any symptoms then there is no need to worry. If you have symptoms then consult your doctor for general examination of your body and chest for any auscultator findings. Avoid dust, smoking, and dry environment. Thanks
