Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Fibrolinear and nodular calcific densities in both upper lung fields are due to sequel of infection.Infection naturally heals by calcification and fibrosis.This condition doesn't generally require any treatment unless it compromises pulmonary functions.
Findings are not serious at all.
Hope I have answered your question.
Take Care
