What does faded lines on chest x-ray means ? is it tb ?

Faded lines: Unfortunately what you describe is too vague, it doesn't really have any meaning at all for me as a radiologist. Is there a specific abnormality described in the report? What terminology do they use?

Don't know: I have practiced radiology for 40 years and never have used this terminology.
