Hi, welcome to HCM
subcentimetric lymph nodes means there is some infection in lung fields, but it is not significant. For any lymphnode to be significant it should be more than 1 cm.
It will be more helpful , if you can upload your complete report. Otherwise you should contact your radiologist , he/she will explain you in details.
Thanking you.
