Radiologist 's  Response
Hi,

The findings are showing mild thickening of the upper covering of the lungs. This is not a serious concern.

The other finding suggests calcium deposition adjacent to 2 vertebrae in the lower back.

This can cause pain in the lower back and stiffness but is not a serious concern.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Vivek Chail, Radiologist
