[Radiological picture of pneumoconiosis in welders]. 1979

A Kujawska, and K Marek

In the group of 35 welders with pneumoconiosis, the evolution of radiological changes was observed, after cessation of work in exposure. In 9 cases radiological changes retreated completely; in 16 cases they were clearly reduced, whereas in the remaining 10 persons no changes in radiological picture were found. The findings indicate that the radiological changes in welders' lungs may be reversible and as such they are most probably induced by dust retention.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D011009	Pneumoconiosis	A diffuse parenchymal lung disease caused by inhalation of dust and by tissue reaction to their presence. These inorganic, organic, particulate, or vaporized matters usually are inhaled by workers in their occupational environment, leading to the various forms (ASBESTOSIS; BYSSINOSIS; and others). Similar air pollution can also have deleterious effects on the general population.	Bagassosis,Pneumoconioses
D011859	Radiography	Examination of any part of the body for diagnostic purposes by means of X-RAYS or GAMMA RAYS, recording the image on a sensitized surface (such as photographic film).
