"mild coronary atery calcification involving the LAD" you should do a stress test ECG to check for coronary deseas. "mild centrilobular emphysema" in a 30 years old fumator person is "normal". This bilateral nodular opacities could be something of no importance (may be some previous deseas that has left some scars) but in any case you have to follow them up. After 3-6 months you have to repeat the CT scan.
