[Computerized tomography of pleuropulmonary pathology due to asbestos]
Abstract:
28 patients presenting with proven pleuro-pulmonary pathology due to asbestos underwent conventional radiography and also computed tomography (TDM). It is evident that TDM was more sensitive in detecting the presence of pleural plaques which were either hidden or invisible on standard radiographs. False parietal images were often eliminated. With a mesothelioma it can guide the biopsy approach and by visualising contra-lateral plaques that the origin is asbestos. It should enable irregular plaques to be monitored more easily.

Pulmonary Function Tests
Pulmonary Function Tests are crucial diagnostic tools for assessing respiratory function, particularly in patients with chronic respiratory disorders. They comprehensively evaluate lung volumes, ventilatory function, breathing mechanics, diffusion, and gas exchange. These tests help diagnose pulmonary diseases and play a significant role in monitoring disease progression, evaluating disability, and assessing response to therapy.
