Hello

Your NCCT(non contrast CT)findings of thorax may suggests multi focal fibro-atelectatic lesions in both lungs.
It means presence of fibrosis with atelectatic areas.Atelectatic areas are part of lung parenchyma that contains no air.It may be due to infection,retained secretions etc.
Small atelectatic areas may reverse with treatment of underlying cause.It may become normal with drainage of secretions and infection.

Get well soon.
Take Care
