Abstract:
In 143 persons professionally involved with the growing and processing of tobacco roentgenologic lung examinations were carried out. The detected diseases of the respiratory system were classified as exogenous allergic alveolitis (EAA), tobacco growers disease. The proven roentgenologic lung changes were grouped in roentgenologic symptom complexes, that correlate with the clinical variations of the disease (obstructive bronchitis, bronchial asthma, recurring pneumonia).

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
