Abstract:
Evaluation of diagnostic possibilities of high definition computerized tomography was performed on the material of 38 patients with recognized silicosis of small opacities on the bases of long lasting exposition, clinical and radiographic picture. Special usefulness of HRCT was shown in revealing early, scanty, radiographically imperceptible nodular changes. The presence of the so-called air traps was shown on expiratory sections.
