No pulmonary consolidations, no pleural effusions. Bi-basal pleural calcified plaques. Cardiomediastinal contours are unremarkable, thoracic aorta is unfolded. No pneumothorax or subphrenic free gas.
Case Discussion
Findings are those of bilateral calcified pleural plaques, a non-specific finding that is commonly related to a previous history of inhalational exposure to asbestos. Comparison with previous radiographs from 4 years ago has shown stability of the lesions.
