Hello,
As per my clinical experience, streaky opacities in the both sides of lungs indicate possible old insult of lung parenchyma which can range from bronchitis, tuberculosis or others. However, a detailed past medical history with current symptoms are of paramount importance to guide further in this regards.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
