Hi, I'm trying to understand the radiology report from my CT scan.

Tracheobronchial Tree:  Centrally patent.  Mild diffuse bilateral bronchial wall thickening.  

Any idea's what this could be?

      Hi ben1994, I quit smoking 5 years ago, smoked off and on for 20 years.

      I would imagine the smoking is probably the cause. If so, then now you've stopped smoking it wont get any worse.
