aortic knob atheromatosis
We don't have enough of the medical report, that is why my confidence level is low. But perhaps the mean this knob:
....Typical calcifications of the aortic knob on routine chest
x-ray are often associated with AAA. However, these
radiological criteria alone do not provide sufficient sensitivity
or specificity to predict aortic atheromatosis....
(...Aortic arch atheromatosis (AAA) is a common cause of cerebral embolism...)
Aortic knob: the prominent shadow of the aortic arch on a frontal chest radiograph.

SJLD
: that was actually my first thought - but can find nothing in Dutch (albeit Flemish) to substantiate this - in any case, in a CXR this would be more likely - atherosclerotic aortic knob

nodular atheromatosis
I am pretty sure there's a spelling error involved, it should be knoopatheromatose.
The only exact reference I can find is a in a patent (line 14 of p31 in the text, or left column on p17 of the pdf):
(...) diabetic symptoms on the feet (ulcers of the
lower extremities and of the feet), diabetic nephropathy in its
two forms - diffuse and nodular - atheromatosis (increase in
HDL lipoproteins promoting the removal of cholesterol
from atheroma plaques (...)
http://www.google.com/patents/US6399613.pdf
Another reference:
The atrial atheromatous process was distributed in elongated nodules, which had a ridged or corduroy-like appearance on gross examination.
http://informahealthcare.com/doi/abs/10.3109/155138190090671...
Pinkhof:
atheromatose = degeneratief-necrotiserende veranderingen van de vaatwand
atheroom = haard in de arteriewand, gevuld met debris, lipoïden en cholesterolkristallen
atheromatosus = gepaard gaande met atheroomvorming

Note from asker:
| Thank you, Lianne, this is very useful. I think you may be right, that it is a typo and "nodular atheromatosis is intended. I will look further into that. |
Peer comment(s):

SJLD
: there is no such term as "nodular atheromatosis" in English. In your ref, "nodular" qualifies diabetic nephropathy, not atheromatosis

Grey area - no, we don't really say that in an x ray report - this means opacity.
left basally - at the left base
bi-apical pachypleuritis - pleural thickening at both apices.
