I'm planning a trip to the Gulf, and I just got my chest X-ray report back. It mentions something about prominent broncho vascular markings. I'm not sure what that means, and I'm concerned about whether it could cause any issues in my medical consultation or during my trip. Is this something serious? Can it be treated or managed somehow?
