Abstract
OBJECTIVE:: To determine the prevalence of increased micronodule counts in silica dust-exposed smokers. METHODS:: We evaluated 54 male smokers with severe silica dust exposure and 54 male control smokers. Both groups underwent low-dose chest computed tomography and lung function testing. Computed tomographic scans were visually evaluated for solid micronodules (<3 mm). The 95th percentile of micronodule count was calculated for the control...
