Radiologist,  's  Response
Hello, thanks for writing in.
I assumume you have had a chest Xray, and mentioned your report findings.
Peribronchial changes are due to narrowing/plugging of the smaller airways, causing restriction in airflow and leading to atelectasis or partial collapse of the lung parenchyma beyond.
Most common cause is an infective/inflamatory process in the recent past.
No active lesion is seen on this study.
If you are symptomatic, the next step is a CT scan.

But nothing to worry.
Hope this is helpful. Write in again if you have any doubts. Bye.
