GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / lungs pulmão X-ray
Portuguese term or phrase: Estria
Context:

...A radiografia de tórax demonstrou produto patológico no interior da cavidade em lobo superior do pulmão
direito (Figura 1A). Controle realizado após dois anos de tratamento com itraconazol demonstrou desaparecimento do produto patológico no interior da cavidade (Figura 1C). A tomografia computadorizada (TC) de tórax revelou cavidade cistóide no ápice do pulmão direito com produto patológico com densidade de partes moles em seu interior e espessamento
da pleura adjacente. Distorção da arquitetura do lobo superior direito com bronquiectasias e atelectasia subtotal. Espessamento pleural com calcificações, bilaterais. Nódulos e estrias com calcificações no ápice do pulmão esquerdo. Áreas de enfisema, algumas destas nitidamente paracicatriciais, bilaterais (Figura 1B).

There are many translations for "estria", but I wonder which one would fit this context, since we are talking about lungs, X-rays, etc.

Thank you all.

Just another reference:
The lungs take the shape of the pleural cavities, and are conical structures having an apex which projects above the level of the first rib for about half an inch, and a concave base which is adapted to the cupola of the diaphragm, on which it rests. The outer surface is smooth and convex, except for shallow grooves made by the ribs, and the inner surface has the impressions of the organs against which it lies. The lower border of the outer surface of the lung is thin and reaches down between the diaphragm and the ribs to the level of the lower border of the sixth rib in front; the eighth rib in the mid-axillary line; then passes horizontally inwards, reaching the vertebral column at the level of the tenth rib. The bases of the lungs are in relation with some of the abdominal organs, the diaphragm intervening. Thus, the base of the right lung rests upon the right lobe of the liver, whilst the base of the left lung is in relation with the left lobe of the liver, the fundus of the stomach, and the spleen.
