Chest computerized tomography

The chest x-ray is the most common and important tool to detect lung and pleural disease caused by chronic exposure to tremolite asbestos or other types of asbestos. Results from pulmonary function tests and high resolution computerized tomography can also be used in the diagnosis. [Pg.383]

Clinical diagnostic methods for determining exposure and effects of asbestos include chest radiography, pulmonary function tests, and high resolution computerized tomography. Microscopic detection of asbestos bodies in autopsied or biopsied lung tissue can be used to confirm exposure when tissue is available. [Pg.427]
