Enhancement of lung markings. What to do? What is Bilateral Lung Marker Enhancement

The enhancement of lung texture should be done differently according to different **.

If the cold virus invades the bronchi, the bronchial mucosa is congested and edema, and inflammation is caused, the main reason is to strengthen the symptomatic supportive treatment, drink more warm water, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

If it is an acute attack of bronchial asthma, coughing and wheezing violently, resulting in enhanced lung textures, it can nebulize surface glucocorticoids, 2-receptor agitation, and improve the patient's symptoms.

Cause. 1.Parenchymal inflammation of the lungs is mainly seen in people with bronchitis, early pneumonia, or long-term cough.

2.Pulmonary interstitial lesions Because the main routes in the pulmonary interstitium are bronchial arteries and veins, and lymphatic vessels, if pulmonary interstitial lesions occur.

It can also manifest as thickening of these blood vessels or lymphatic vessels.

3.Lymphatic lesions are less common because lymphatic vessels are also a component of lung markings.

4.Cardiogenic heart diseaseFor example, heart failure, congenital heart disease, etc., can affect the return of pulmonary arteries or veins, so it will also manifest as thickening of lung markings.

5.Other people who have been smoking for a long time or are elderly. In general, if you get a chest x-ray report showing thickened lung markings, don't worry too much, the doctor will determine whether you need a closer examination based on your symptoms and other test results (such as blood count, etc.), or provide a reference for your medication.

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.

It should be an increase in lung markings, which refers to the radial strip shadow that extends from the hilum to the periphery of the lung field seen during chest imaging, and this radial strip shadow extending from the hilum to the periphery of the lung field is mainly composed of pulmonary arteries, pulmonary veins, bronchi and lymphatic vessels. And these are many of these shadows.

Differential diagnosis: 1. Increased vascular lung markings.

The lung texture is 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.

2. Increased lymphatic lung markings.

Lung markings are thin reticulated in both lungs and are commonly seen in pneumoconiosis, cancerous lymphangitis, etc.

3. Increased pulmonary markings in smoking.

Shows increased markings in both lungs, but walks normally, mainly due to chronic bronchitis caused by long-term smoking.

4. Increased physiological lung markings.

It is 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.

5. Increased bronchial lung markings.

It is manifested as uneven thickness of lung markings, which is often mixed with deformation textures and small honeycomb shadows, which are common in chronic bronchitis and bronchiectasis.

1.There is no objective and quantifiable criterion for the increase and thickening of lung markings, which is related to the patient's own health status, ** factors, and the personal experience of the diagnostician.

2.There are many causes of increased and thickened lung markings, which can be pathological, physiological, or technical. In general, isolated reports of increased and thickened lung markings are of little clinical value.

Only a careful analysis of the nature of the increased and thickened lung markings, combined with other x-ray findings and clinical and technical conditions, can correct conclusions be drawn. That is, the increased and thickened lung markings without any clinical symptoms are entirely physiological, i.e., completely normal. If respiratory symptoms are present, bronchitis is considered and anti-inflammatory is required**.

The enhancement of lung markings is due to manifestations of congestion or congestion of blood vessels in the lungs. It is a very common manifestation in heart or respiratory diseases, and sometimes it is not necessarily a heart or lung problem, and there are many factors that contribute to this manifestation.

Similarly, lung markings are enhanced, and the presentation varies. If there is no other clinical symptoms of simple pulmonary marking, it can be temporarily ignored, and it can be observed for a period of time, pay attention to rest, do not smoke, and pay attention to the air conditions of the work and living environment.

Eliminate tension and anxiety and maintain a good daily routine.

If chest tightness persists, an ECG can be repeated when symptoms are obvious, and if necessary, a Holter ECG can be done. If you have symptoms, you should go to the hospital and actively consult a professional doctor.

If there are symptoms of cough or sputum production, mild bronchitis is suspected.

The dangers of increased lung markings are as follows:

Increased lung markings mean increased fibrosis and inflammatory infiltration, which can be caused by a variety of causes, including chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, tuberculosis, pneumoconiosis, silicosis, smoking, and more. This phenomenon can be transient, as in the case of an attack of bronchial inflammation, caused by congestion and edema of the lung tissue due to inflammation, or permanent, as in silicosis. If you don't usually have a history of chronic cough, just a cold, and the chest X-ray shows thickened lung textures, that's okay, it will recover after **.

Otherwise, it may be permanent, indicating that the lung tissue has been damaged and is difficult to recover.

The specific pathological analysis is as follows: Disease analysis: bronchial lung texture changes: the main pathology is the thickening of the bronchial wall and the inflammation of the surrounding interstitium, such as chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, etc.

Suggestions: Vascular lung texture changes: mainly caused by pulmonary congestion and pulmonary congestion, pulmonary congestion is more common in congenital heart disease with left-to-right shunt, such as atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, etc.

Develop good living habits, adjust your diet, and wear a mask when going out in bad weather.

The lungs are delicate and moisturizing. Usually you can eat some products that moisturize yin and dryness. Such as lilies, honey, pears, etc. But it also has to be based on your actual situation.
