Abstract
Introduction. Pneumoconiosis is a disease caused by exposure industrial dust.
The aim of the work was to determine the diagnostic effectiveness of radiation research methods in its diagnosis and systematize CT semiotics.
Materials and methods. 105 mining and metallurgical workers were surveyed. All patients underwent a clinical and radiological examination.
Results. In addition to focal and interstitial changes, nodular changes were detected, and the presence of a cavity was not always a sign of tuberculosis. The sensitivity of CT was 98,94%, the specificity was 90,0%.
Conclusion. CT is necessary for all patients with suspected pneumoconiosis. The combination of the disseminated process in the lungs and professional harmfulness is not decisive in making a diagnosis, a comprehensive approach is necessary.
