title: [HRCT and LDCT in workers exposed to asbestos: a review of the literature in view of the Helsinki Criteria].
abstract: In approaching the asbestos-related diseases with CT, both the malignant diseases and the non-malignant disease are to be considered. In the recent publication of the Helsinki Criteria research activities are encouraged in the field of lung cancer screening with low-dose CT (LDCT) in exposed workers and initiatives of data pooling and study protocols standardization are stimulated. Herein, we propose a review of the literature in the light of the Helsinki statement focused on the different techniques of imaging with CT and on the different fields of application in the asbestos-related disease.
