Advances in the Imaging Diagnostic Technique of Pneumoconiosis

Pneumoconiosis is a pulmonary fibrosis disease caused by inhaling industrial dust. The high voltage chest Roentgenography is presently the main means for diagnosing pneumoconiosis. Digital radiography technology has developed rapidly in recent years and is hopefully to supersede the traditional Roentgenography. Through comparing the different imaging techniques, this article summarized the pneumoconiosis imaging diagnostic techniques and made some prospects.
