répartition bronchovasculaire

Medical (general)
Taken from a chest CT report which is described in the impression section as being normal. I've found "bronchovascular distribution" but unsure what this actually means, if it is even correct. The "harmonieuse" bit has also puzzled me. Looking in other KudoZ entries I'm currently working with "no bronchovascular distribution" but I'm not convinced.
"Dans le parenchyme, l'inspirium est bon, la répartition bronchovasculaire est harmonieuse. On ne repère pas d'infiltrat ni nodule suspect. Un aspect très légèrement réticulaire des bases est visible des deux côtés, en faveur d'une fibrose d'origine X."

Knowledge of bronchovascular anatomy (seen in the image below) is the key to the accurate interpretation of CT scans obtained for the evaluation of pulmonary embolism. A systematic approach in identifying all vessels is important. The bronchovascular anatomy has been described on the basis of the segmental anatomy of lungs. The segmental arteries are seen near the accompanying branches of the bronchial tree and are situated either medially (in the upper lobes) or laterally (in the lower lobes, lingula, and right middle lobe).

I think it may be saying that the bronchovascular anatomy is normal

: The distribution is "harmonious" which is to say, the vascular distribution matches the bronchial distribution, i.e. no pulmonary embolus.

: Yes. The key message is that ventilation (bronchial) and perfusion (vascular) are normally matched; there is no evidence of "V/Q imbalance"

I'd go with "good bronchovascular distribution"

that the blood vessels are well distributed around the bronchi/bronchioles, that they are well supplied with blood

I think it is correct:
Pulmonary lymphatic system exists both along the bronchovascular bundle and interlobular septum. - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3745551/
Lymphatic distribution - the same link
The major differential diagnoses of cases demonstrating lymphatic distribution are pulmonary edema – idem
Useful “patterns” in relation to distributions and major differential diagnosis – id
Centrilobular distribution: Tuberculosis - id
