if you are talking about x ray it means that visibility of your lung's vessels in the x-ray. but generally speaking it is vessels in your lung. they are arteries coming out of the right side of the heart and veins going to the left part of the heart carrying oxygenated blood. you notice that it is contrary to the general rule. that is arteiries carry oxygenated blood. in some diseases the visibility of these vessels in x-ray or ct-scan or MRI becomes better which is not a good sign. a typical example is hypertension of the lung vessels. or when the heart goes to failure.
hope this helps

Pulmonary vascularity in patients with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect varies widely and depends on the anatomic and functional status of the main pulmonary artery and the left and right pulmonary arteries in their central, hilar and intrapulmonary segments. In pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect, there are three main patterns of pulmonary vascularity seen on the plain chest radiograph: 1, diminished pulmonary vascularity; 2, plethora with increased pulmonary blood flow often associated with horizontal arteries suggesting aortopulmonary collaterals; and 3, asymmetric vascularity indicating stenosis within the pulmonary arterial tree. A mottled appearance at the periphery of the lungs represents pleural-pulmonary collateral circulation.

In simple terms it means less blood vessels in the lung and as stated that means less ability to oxygenate.
