Hi I had a ct of lungs. These are results should I be concerned? Lungs, Pleura and tracheobronchial tree: Lungs are clear of focal consolidation. No pulmonary AVM identified. A tiny 2 mm peripheral nodule is stable in the lateral right upper lobe (image 28). Mild bibasilar dependent atelectasis is noted. Minimal biapical scarring is noted. There is no pleural effusion. The trachea and central airways appear patent, devoid of endobronchial lesion.

there is nothing to worry as this one is almost a normal report;
it says that some evidence of old / recent past infection is there from which the body has recovered well leaving some scars!
the changes might be due to effects of air pollution or allergy also.
all the best!
