A group of 21 former asbestos sprayers was studied with high-resolution computed
tomography (HRCT), and the findings were compared with radiographic, exposure and lung …

Objectives Asbestosis remains difficult to diagnose, particularly in its early stages. The aim of
this study was to determine criteria for independently associated features of pulmonary …

Introduction: The diagnosis of lung disease in asbestos-exposed individuals is a process
that not only requires a detailed occupational and tobacco smoking history, but the …

We examined the chest CT scans of 1,453 WTC responders using the International
Classification of High-resolution CT for Occupational and Environmental Respiratory …

Ten years of lung function and radiological findings in six non-smoking asbestos exposed
subjects who had increased mid-expiratory flow rate (FEF 25-75%) as the only functional …

Computed tomography has acquired an increasingly central role in the evaluation of
asbestos-exposed individuals. The advantages of increased contrast resolution and axial …

Forty-six individuals with documented asbestos exposure were studied by computed
tomography as part of their initial evaluation. CT sections were compared to standard chest …

Background Low-dose spiral computed tomography (LDSCT) in comparison to conventional
chest X-ray proved to be a highly sensitive method of diagnosing early stage lung cancer …

High-resolution CT is more sensitive than chest radiography and conventional CT in the
detection and assessment of benign asbestos-related pleural and parenchymal diseases …

Purpose: We established a screening program for prior asbestos workers using low-dose
computed tomography (LDCT). Methods: Between March 2005 and October 2007 we …
