CT scans:These scans are more detailed than standard X-rays. A CT scan can detect asbestosis before it appears on a chest X-ray. Lung function tests:These tests can help determine how well the lungs are working. Once the diagnosis has been confirmed, doctors can recommend a treatment plan...
Asbestos particles are quite aerodynamic and coupled with its small size, it can pass fairly easily into the distal airways and lung parenchyma. This is especially true of the straight amphiboles which can travel with the stream of air into the deeper recesses of the lung. Chrysotiles on the ...
In an X-ray, a calcified pleural plaque from asbestos will show up as a translucent white deposit on the lungs. If an asbestos pleural plaque or other strange mass is visible in the pleural space, patients should ask their doctor about their risk of lung cancer or mesothelioma since both ...
and in ladles and insulation in sand molds.Clinicians caring for foundry workers need to be aware that asbestos-related x-ray changes are not uncommon in this population and asbestos exposure should be considered as one of the carcinogens contributing to the known increased risk of lung cancer am...
This is the one hundredth chest X-ray picture and I wanted it to be a little more dramatic than usual. The extent to which I have been successful is up to you to judge. The Index X-ray was from a man with asbestosis who developed a cancer of lung and subsequently the left upper ...

The automated analysis of asbestos by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) is a powerful technique that enables the quantity, composition, and morphology of suspected asbestos fibres to be quickly measured. ...
