The objective of the present study is to determine the feasibility of chest computed
tomography (CT) in screening for lung cancer among asbestos-exposed workers. In total …

We conducted a computed tomography (CT) screening for lung cancer in a high-risk
population. Six hundred and two workers (38–81 years, 97% smokers) with asbestos-related …

Objective Lung cancer is the most frequent malignant asbestos-related pathology and
remains the most fatal cancer of industrialized countries. In heavy smokers, early detection …

Background Low-dose computed tomography (CT) has been found to detect more Stage IA
lung cancer than chest x-ray. Aims To investigate whether lung cancer screening with CT …

Objectives: The aim was to compare, in a cohort of asbestos-exposed workers, the sensitivity
and the specificity of low-radiation helical chest CT scan with chest radiograph for the …

Objectives Smoking is the main risk factor for lung cancer, but environmental and
occupational exposure to carcinogens also increase lung cancer risk. We assessed whether …

This study examined the effects of smoking on the findings in chest computed tomography
(CT) in 587 asbestos-exposed construction workers (11 females, 576 males, mean age 62 …

Purpose To compare inter-reader variability of chest X-ray and high resolution computed
tomography (HRCT) scans of formerly asbestos-exposed employees over a 4-year period …

Purpose To characterize asbestosis today and to clarify the indications for high-resolution
computed tomography (HRCT) in the surveillance of heavily exposed workers. Methods Six …

The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of lung cancer in a high-risk
asbestos-exposed cohort using low-dose MDCT. Of a population of 5,389 former power …
