IIRC, you're a radiologist. Can you differentiate asbestosis from silicosis with normal chest X-ray projections? How about CT scans?

I can't imagine there are many people still alive who suffer from asbestosis. Silicosis is the most terrible and lethal of the dust diseases. Past a certain point the quartz crystals just keep destroying alveoli until you're dead. It can hit anyone from hard-rock miners to stonemasons to potters who work with certain clays to guys who handle diatomaceous earth. The blade-grinders of old Sheffield were legendary for their short lifespans.
