A member asked:
What does it mean findings in both upper parahilar regions may relate to chronic inflammatory changes vs. prominent pulmonary interstitial markings?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I am not sure: But i believe that the radiologist is saying that the vessels at the hilum are prominent and is indicative of chronic bronchitic changes (an inflammatory process) or that the blood vessels are prominent as in chf. You can correlate with the symptoms which fits. Like the radiologist, I do not have a history to make a best guess.
