Initial repeatability trials of the UICC-Cincinnati classification of the radiographic appearances of pneumoconioses.

Development of radiographic abnormality in chrysotile miners and millers.

has been known for 50 years that inhalation of asbestos dust can lead to appearances on chest roentgenograms that are different from those associated with silicosis and coal workers’ pneumoconiosis.1 However, only the latest international classifications of the radiographic appearances of the pneumoconioses allow the recording of such shadows.2’3 These include what are now called small irregula...

The Radiological Diagnosis of Asbestosis

The recognition of different pneumoconioses is usually based on a history of exposure to a given dust together with the presence of characteristic changes in the chest radiograph. This implies that the radiological appearances are reasonably specific. Moreover, if they are to be used not only for clinical diagnosis but also for compensation purposes, and for the study of the disease in relation...

Uterine Leiomyoma: Hysterosalpingographic Appearances

Uterine leiomyoma is the most common benign tumor of genital tract. The etiology of myomas is unknown. Leiomyoma shows a broad spectrum of radiographic appearances depending on the number, size, and location of the tumor. The diagnostic method for uterine leiomyomas is based primarily on the clinical situation. Despite of the varied diagnostic options such as; transvaginal sonography, sonohyste...

International classification trial of AIA set of 100 radiographs of asbestos workers.

A series of 100 full size radiographs illustrating the range of asbestos related radiographic changes was collected by the Asbestos International Association to provide a demonstration and teaching supplement to the ILO 1980 International Classification of the Radiographic Appearances of Pneumoconioses. Each film was read by 12 experienced readers from ten countries; the readings have been summ...
