Hi Ravine, Thanks for writing in.First, I would like to emphasize that a diagnosis can only be made after correlating clinical findings with X-ray /CT scan findings. Secondly, a diagnosis like TB/Cancer/Pneumonia can only be ruled out after the clinical symptoms have been correlated with the investigations. To be able to help you better, I would need to know the symptoms that your father has. Other causes of white spots in the lungs on CT scan can be interstitial lung disease, benign tumors, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, hematological disorders, acidosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The treatment can only be decided once we know the cause. Hope this helps. Regards
