Don't understand scan=shotty looking

2018-06-07 08:57:35
I had pneumonia the end of Feb this year and the hospital did a ct scan on my lungs. When my Dr. got the results he said there was something shotty looking in my lungs and wanted another scan done in 3 mos which I had done this past Mon. The new scan showed the same with no change. What the heck is shotty????
