Chest X ray and thorax high resolution computerized tomography (HRCT) revealed that there are bilateral reticulonodular and nodular opacities at the pulmonary paranchima. Silicosis was diagnosed by examining of open lung biopsy (case one) and transbronchial biopsy (case two). Because of changes in...

X-ray - a chest X-ray will be done to see the inside of the lungs. If there are nodules present, this is an indicator of silicosis; and A CT scan can provide clearer images of the nodules to assist medical staff with your diagnosis. ...
Although chest X-ray of the patient revealed bilateral disseminated micronodular densities, a peripherally diffuse prominent FDG [(F-18)-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose] uptake in both lungs and faint FDG uptake in mediastinal lymph nodes demonstrating active inflammation regions were noted on PET ( ...

Existing studies have confirmed that compared with other tests (TST, X-ray and culture), TB-IGRA is considered to be the most sensitive method of tuberculosis diagnostics [5]. Of the two commercially available TB-IGRA, QuantiFERON-TB Gold (QFT-GIT) assays are more commonly used in routine ...
several clinical trials have reported that patients with Tet treatment have exhibited smaller silicotic nodules under X-ray, and have down-regulated inflammatory cytokines and improved lung function compared to their non-Tet treatment counterparts [6]. Our work supports these findings and further confir...
