<human>: I had a CT Scan, and have two questions: what is bilateral apical scarring in the lungs and what does is come from also, it showed atherosclerotic coronary artery calcification Is that something to worry about, how can I make it get better what causes it (other than age, I am 76)
<bot>: HelloFindings suggests scarring(fibrosis) in apical region of both lungs. It may be due to past healed infection. Fibrosis and calcification indicate healed past infection.However, other causes may be occupation related etc. It is not a serious finding and patient usually doesn't require any treatment for it. It is a benign finding. Atherosclerotic calcification is also age related finding. It is more seen in hypertensive, diabetic patient. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
