Overview
An x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of pneumoconiosis. It is the initial screening test used however CT scan provides more sensitivity and specificity. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3]. [1] [2] [3] [4]
X Ray
An x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of pneumoconiosis. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of/diagnostic of pneumoconiosis include:
- Pleural plaques are pathognomonic for asbestosis.
- Interstitial nodules in the upper zone of the lungs for both silicosis and coal worker's pneumoconiosis.
