Sounds like he as both restictive and obstuctive lung diseases.

Am no expert by any means BUT if that was MY report i would be asking about infection or cancer

I guess the perscride short course antbiotics and further test in month or two.

You really need to speak to your dad's GP if your dad's happy with that ...They can go through in detail with you so you can understand it .Nobody on this site is qualified to give you advice regards the report. I know it can be a worry when we see wording that's medically orientated but seek advice from a professional hope you get sorted with things good luck Angie xxx

Is your dad under a respiratory consultant?would be unusual for a GP to refer for High Image CT,either way as Angie says nobody should even try to evaluate your report on this forum.You will definately need to consult with the person who instigated the CT,Wishing you and of course your dad the best for the future.......skis

Let me start by saying that I am no expert but one thing standing out to me is 'ground glass'. I have DIPNECH and one of the signs of it on CT scans is ground glass appearance. Tell it to anyone with DIPNECH and they will tell you the same. However it is extremely rare, only about 100 people worldwide with it. But just something to consider when asking questions of your GP
