I Had An Chest Xray Performed A Month Ago And

I had an chest Xray performed a month ago and small nodules were diagnosed as calicified granulomas. I had a CT Chest Xray with the following results what do you think.

Technique: Axial contiguous images were obtained from the thoracic inlet
to the upper abdomen. 120 cc of Omnipaque was administered intravenously.

Findings:

A 4 mm pulmonary nodule is identified in the left lung apex (image 18). A
2 mm pulmonary nodule density is identified in the lingula (image 56) with
streaky linear borders, this could represent a nodule with adjacent
subsegmental atelectasis. A 2 mm nodular density is present in the right
upper lobe (image 34). Mild pleural thickening/scarring is present along
the superior aspects of both oblique fissures.

A 2 mm perifissural nodular density along the left horizontal fissure
(image 57), likely represents a lymph node.

No pneumothorax or pleural thickening.

The central airways patent.

The heart is normal in size. The great vessels are normal in caliber.

A 8 mm hypodensity in the posterior aspect of the right lobe of the liver
(segment VII) is identified, image 106, too small to further characterize.
The visualized upper abdomen otherwise appears normal.

No aggressive osseous lesions. No thoracic adenopathy.
