A. Hello.. Prominent bronchovascular markings are usually present in the chest x rays taken in an inspiratory(breathing in) phase when the blood vessels of your lungs are dilated. It could also occur in congestive cardiac failur( when the heart doesn't contract enough to eject out the blood into the main vessels, blood keeps accumulating in the heart chambers and due to a high pressure that is generated, the vessels become dilated which cant empty themselves into the heart now. It may also occur in pulmonary hypertension and veno-occlusive disease if the lungs in which the pulmonary veins(which bring the blood from the lungs to the heart after oxygenating it) get occluded.
