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...
Asbestosis is a diffuse interstitial fibrosis of the lung meaning that the area affected is widespread with the development of fibrous tissue. Despite the attempts of the alveolar and interstitial macrophages to phagocytose and remove the asbestos particles, it persists in the air sacs and tissue ...

Asbestosisis a non-cancerous lung disease that causes lung scarring and breathing problems. This disease forms after asbestos fibers get trapped inside the lungs. Over time, the lung gets progressively weaker and stiffer due to the damage caused by the asbestos fibers. This leads to painful sym...
