Roentgenographic underestimation of early asbestosis by International Labor Organization classification. Analysis of data and probabilities.
We analyzed the limitations of the International Labor Organization (ILO) classification of chest roentgenograms in predicting the presence of histologically determined early asbestosis. The ILO system is arbitrary, without histologic correlates, and does not consider the asbestos exposure history or clinical and laboratory information. We present data from the literature and our own work which...

متن کاملUltrasonic examination of pleural thickenings and calcifications in occupational asbestosis.
The roentgenologic diagnosis of occupational asbestosis is based upon typical pulmonary fibrosis and anteriorly detected pleural calcifications, which appear much later than parenchymal changes. Therefore, a definite diagnosis usually demands a long observation period. We used ultrasonic A-and B-mode methods to examine pleural changes in nine occupational asbestosis patients and five normal per...
