[|Human|] Ive just got my e-ray reports & its stated: as remarks_______ MILDLY PROMINENT BRONCHO-VASCULAR MARKINSREMARKS: TO RULE OUT NON-SPECIFIC BRONCHITIS PLEASE CORRELATE CLINICALLY...BUT I WAS GIVEN A HEALTH CARD --- COZ I DONT HAVE COUGH AT ALLPLS. EXPLAIN...THANKS
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Normally on chest x-ray bronchus is normal seen because it contains air and an iris radiolucent. This is the reason why chest x-ray appears black. Bronchus is having its own blood supply. And blood is radio-opaque and can be seen on x-ray. So any pathology where wall of bronchus is inflamed, edematous or blood supply in the vessels is increased than they (bronchovascular) are prominent and visible on chest x-ray. Common causes for prominent bronchovascular markings (BVM) are viral infection, bronchitis, in normal individual when x-ray is taken in expiratory phase, smokers etc. Since you are asymptomatic, possibility of bronchitis or viral infection is very less. And hence you declared fit despite prominent BVM because this can be seen in normal individual also. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
