Gerüstvermehrung

German to English Medical Medical (general)
This is from a patient's findings report:

Context: "Eine mäßig diffuse interstitielle Gerüstvermehrung besteht im gesamten linken Halbthorax"
and
"Im Rahmen einer CT-Untersuchung des Thorax werden interstitielle Gerüstvermehrungen im gesamten linken Halbthorax beschriben."

Many thanks for your help!
Proposed translations (English)

Knochengerüst? Perhaps what is meant here is Knochengerüst =skeleton?

(increased) interstitial (lung) markings

"Interstitielle Gerüstvermehrung" ist ein etwas eigener radiologischer Terminus zur Beschreibung von Veränderungen m Röntgenbild oder CT des Thorax, die für das Vorliegen einer interstitiellen Lungenerkrankung (z.B. Lungenfibrose , exogen-allergische Alveolitis, IIP u.a.) sprechen.

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstitielle_Lungenerkrankung
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstitial_lung_disease

Der Ausdruck ist weit verbreitet aber insofern zumindest etwas irreführend, als das Interstitium eigentlich keine mechanisch (!) stützende Struktur (*Gerüst*) des Lungengewebes ist, obwohl das Interstitium letztlich zu einem nicht unbeträchtlichen Teil bindegewebiger Natur ist.

Gleichwohl hat sich diese Diktion unter Radiologen (und auch Pneumologen/Internisten...) irgendwie eingebürgert...

Increased* Interstitial Markings* on Chest X-ray
http://lifeinthefastlane.com/resources/increased-interstitia...

Most lung diseases cause an increase in the radiodensity of the lung, and if this is due to a relative thickening of the interstitium- this will be manifest as increased prominance of the *interstitial markings* on the CXR. If generalized or diffuse, this will likely appear as a linear or reticular pattern, whereas if localized, it may appear as multiple tiny nodules.

I see that "Gerust" can mean framework

how about

proliferation of network of tissue/capillaries??
