Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
You might have been asked to get X rays to know any stones in the kidney and bladder areas. The small opacities can be benign calcifications most likely due to age related vascular calcification. If it were related to the kidneys then a mention would have been made with an element of suspicion. You may get an ultrasound scan of abdomen for further clarification.
