A flat-panel detector digital radiography and a storage phosphor computed radiography: screening for pneumoconioses.
Storage phosphor computed radiography (SR) and flat-panel detector (FPD) radiography are two types of digital X-ray utilizing different techniques. We compared these two techniques with conventional analogue chest radiograph (AR) among pneumoconiotic patients and healthy controls. Thirty individuals consisting of 20 silica-exposed ex-workers and 10 healthy controls without occupational exposure...
متن کاملUse of chest radiographs in epidemiological investigations of pneumoconioses.
The International Labour Organisation (ILO) classification of radiographs of pneumoconioses was developed to limit variation in classification of parenchymal abnormalities. In this study the manner in which chest radiographs were interpreted in 134 investigations reported in four peer reviewed journals during the five year period 1985-90 was examined. The approach for applying the ILO system wa...

متن کاملApplication of the ILO International Classification of Radiographs of Pneumoconioses to Digital Chest Radiographic Images
The International Labor Organization (ILO) system for classifying chest radiographic changes related to inhalation of pathogenic dusts is predicated on film-screen radiography (FSR). Digital radiography (DR) has replaced FSR in many centers, but there are few data to indicate whether DR is equivalent to FSR in identifying and quantifying interstitial and pleural abnormalities. Furthermore, DR i...
متن کاملSilicosis and tuberculosis: a proposed radiographic classification of tuberculosis to accompany the ILO international classification of radiographs of pneumoconioses.
A significant proportion of workers exposed to silica dust are at risk of developing tuberculosis (TB). The higher the International Labor Organization (ILO) category of silicosis, the greater the TB risk. Subtle radiographic presentations of TB may be the initial manifestation of TB, particularly in the absence of sputum identification of TB bacilli. A proposed TB x-ray-reading form in additio...
