Fig. 5. Asbestos related pleural disease and asbestosis. Non-contrast chest computed tomography (CT) images in lung (A) and bone (B) windows show subpleural reticulation with subtle traction bronchiolectasis and architectural distortion (circle) and subpleural dot-like opacities (arrowheads) compatible with asbestosis. Concurrent posterolateral calcified pleural plaques are compatible with asbestos related pleural disease (white arrows in B). Non-contrast chest CT images at a lower level in lung (C) and bone (D) windows show peripheral reticulation with subtle bronchiolectasis (black arrows) and subpleural dot-like opacities (arrowheads). Calcified pleural plaques are also present (white arrows in D) indicating asbestos exposure.
