Yes important: Reticule nodular patterns are important for they imply a particular type of infection. You should have this investigated with your primary care doctor.

May bey pneumonia: Without seeing the ct, it is hard to be sure. However, this pattern could be seen with early infection in the lung (pneumonia). Clinical evaluation is needed to make a definitive diagnosis.
