What is the cause of the increased markings in both lungs on X ray?

Lung markings are radial streaks of opacity that extend from the hilum to the periphery of the lung field seen on chest imaging. It is mainly composed of pulmonary arteries, pulmonary veins, bronchial tubes, and lymphatic vessels. Increased lung markings on chest x-ray, mainly in the following conditions:

1) Increased bronchial lung markings: manifested as uneven thickness of lung markings, often mixed with deformation textures and small honeycomb shadows, common in chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, etc.

2) Increased vascular lung markings: The lung markings are coarse, and the characteristics of maintaining blood vessels from the hilum to the lungs are often accompanied by the manifestations of heart enlargement, mainly seen in wind heart disease, congenital heart disease, etc.

3) Increased lymphoid lung markings: lung textures are thin reticulated in both lungs, which are common in pneumoconiosis, carcinomatous lymphangitis, etc.

4) Increased pulmonary markings: Showing increased lung markings in both lungs, but walking normally, mainly due to anthractopia caused by long-term smoking.

5) Increased physiological lung markings: mainly seen in the elderly and obese people. The former is due to the relatively abundant lung interstitium in the elderly, which shows increased lung markings on chest x-ray; The latter is due to the subject's obesity and increased subcutaneous fat, which leads to increased X-ray absorption, which causes the illusion of increased lung markings on chest x-ray.

X-ray imaging is a complex process. It is not only related to the density and thickness of human tissues, but also depends on the X-ray dose at the time of filming, X-ray penetration, X-ray projection angle and distance, the photosensitive effect of the film, the efficacy of the film processing solution, and the temperature and time. In the process of filming and processing, changes in any link can affect the quality of X-rays, resulting in an increase in lung textures.

In addition, inexperienced radiographers are prone to mistakenly report a normal chest x-ray as an increase in lung markings.

It can be seen that there are many causes of increased lung markings, which can be pathological, physiological, or technical. In general, increased lung markings are reported in isolation with little co-clinical value. Correct conclusions can only be drawn by careful analysis of the nature of the increased lung markings, combined with other x-ray findings and the clinical and technical conditions.

Most of them are X-ray manifestations of chronic bronchitis, which need to be standardized**, health is priceless, and if possible, it is recommended that you go to your local doctor to see better. All the best!

1 Lung texture is the image of the lungs that comes out of the radiology department through chest X-ray, which is mainly composed of dendritic shadows composed of pulmonary arteries, pulmonary veins and bronchi, and it can reflect the image of certain diseases that disturb the lungs. The increased markings in both lungs suggest that there may be some disease in Dou Sakura's lungs.

2. Increased bronchial bilateral lung markings often manifest as uneven lung markings, and some images also show a mixture of deformed textures and small honeycomb textures. This texture often indicates chronic bronchitis, dilated gas tubes, and other diseases.

3. The increase in the texture of the vascular double lung often reflects the characteristics of coarse texture, clear boundary, and keeping blood vessels running from the hilum to the lung, and the patients with this texture are accompanied by the characteristics of enlarged heart, which mainly indicates rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart disease and other diseases.

4. Lymphoid double lung texture is mainly characterized by a slender network in both lungs, which mainly indicates diseases such as pneumoconiosis and carcinomatous lymphangitis.

Question 1: What does double lung texture enhancement mean? The enhancement of the texture of both lungs is caused by trachea and bronchitis, and it is generally unrelated to the different degrees of thickening of the lung texture as long as the cough is coughed.

Question 2: What does double lung texture enhancement mean Problem analysis: Double lung texture enhancement is only an X-ray image manifestation, and older, smokers, including those who smoke 2 hands and bronchitis, can lead to lung texture enhancement, depending on whether the patient has symptoms such as cough.

Guidance: Thickening of lung markings without any clinical symptoms is entirely likely physiological, i.e., completely normal. If respiratory symptoms are present, bronchitis is considered and anti-inflammatory is required**.

Question 3: What does it mean to have increased lung markings "Lung-marking" is a common term in radiology, and in the gas-filled lobes of the lungs, dendritic shadows can be seen radiating from the hilum outward, which is called lung marking. Represents a radial, strip-like shadow that extends from the hilum to the periphery of the lung field, with the texture tapering as it branches gradually.

Lung markings are mainly images composed of pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins, and bronchial and lymphatic vessels are also involved in the composition of lung markings. Pulmonary veins, bronchus, and lymphatic vessels account for a larger proportion of the formation of lung markings than normal in the lesions, so lung markings enhancement can be roughly divided into three types from a morphological point of view

First, the lung texture is coarse, the edge is clear, and the lung texture is enhanced to maintain the vascular direction from the hilum to the lung field, which is common in rheumatic heart disease, atrioventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, heart failure, etc.;

Second, the lung texture is finer, with fewer branches and clear edges, among which the lung texture mixed with deformation and the lung texture enhancement of honeycomb image are common in chronic bronchitis and bronchiectasis;

Third, it is enhanced in the texture of the fibrous network and network in the lung field, which is common in miliary tuberculosis, pneumoconiosis (silicosis), carcinomatous lymphangitis, etc.

People who have had chronic bronchitis have increased texture disorders that are impossible to disappear all the time, and there is a spotted blur that is inflammation if there are no symptoms, you can ignore it, and if you have a severe cough, you will have to **.

Hello, the above situation indicates that there is bronchial inflammation, resulting in increased lung markings, please indicate whether there are symptoms such as fever, cough, and sputum. Whether there is a routine blood test so that we can judge the condition clearly.

Hyperpigmentation of the lungs is an imaging manifestation, which is commonly caused by inflammation of lung infection, or due to pulmonary congestion and pulmonary congestion caused by some cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and bronchial wall thickening caused by bronchial diseases. All of these causes may result in increased and thickened lung markings on x-rays, with clear or blurred edges. Increased lung markings need to be done in the context of the patient's clinical presentation**, and antibiotics are generally indicated if cough and fever are present**.
