Inhalational talc pneumoconiosis: radiographic and CT findings in 14 patients.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiographic and CT findings of inhalational talc pneumoconiosis.


CONCLUSIONS
Large opacities of talc pneumoconiosis progress more often than do small opacities. The CT findings of talc pneumoconiosis overlap those of silicosis and asbestosis.
