The book is a guide to the recognition of dust diseases of the lung, using radiological imaging techniques, with special emphasis on high-resolution computed tomography (CT). The classification is a powerful, essential tool for recording patient data on CT in a globally standardized semiquantitative way. The system is also applicable to surveillance and screening for occupational and environmental respiratory diseases. With the accompanying CD-ROM containing all the reference films, readers can easily interpret clinical data. The book is a resource not only for radiologists but for all who work in occupational medicine and public health."--Jacket Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record In Springer e-books Subject Respiratory organs -- Diseases -- Environmental aspects -- Classification Occupational diseases -- Classification Lung Diseases -- classification Lung Diseases -- diagnostic imaging Environmental Exposure -- adverse effects Occupational Diseases -- diagnostic imaging Tomography, X-Ray Computed -- methods Tomography, X-Ray Computed -- standards HEALTH & FITNESS -- Diseases -- Respiratory.
