RESULTS
Of the cases diagnosed with pneumoconiosis, 34.9%
stated that there was an effective ventilation system in
their workplace, whereas this rate was 57.8% in cases
without pneumoconiosis (P < 0.05).
Option C
In a study by Savranlar et al. opacities were found in favor of
pneumoconiosis in thorax high‑resolution CT (HRCT) results of
six of ten patients whose chest X‑ray was evaluated as normal.
Ren et al. reported that there were small opacities compatible with
pneumoconiosis in the thoracic HRCT evaluation of coal workers
who had no change in their chest radiography.
