Index ILO Classification

The ILO International Classification of Radiographs of Pneumoconioses is a system of classifying chest radiographs (X-rays) for persons with a (or, rarely, more than one) form of pneumoconiosis. [1]

Asbestosis

Asbestosis is long term inflammation and scarring of the lungs due to asbestos.

Atelectasis

Atelectasis is the collapse or closure of a lung resulting in reduced or absent gas exchange.

Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis is a disease in which the inside of an artery narrows due to the build up of plaque.

B reader

A "B" reader is a physician certified by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) as demonstrating proficiency in classifying radiographs of the pneumoconioses.

Chest radiograph

A chest radiograph, colloquially called a chest X-ray (CXR), or chest film, is a projection radiograph of the chest used to diagnose conditions affecting the chest, its contents, and nearby structures.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a type of obstructive lung disease characterized by long-term breathing problems and poor airflow.

Coalworker's pneumoconiosis

Coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP), also known as black lung disease or black lung, is caused by long-term exposure to coal dust.

Epidemiology

Epidemiology is the study and analysis of the distribution (who, when, and where) and determinants of health and disease conditions in defined populations.

New!!: ILO Classification and Epidemiology · See more »

Granuloma

Granuloma is an inflammation found in many diseases.

International labour law

International labour law is the body of rules spanning public and private international law which concern the rights and duties of employees, employers, trade unions and governments in regulating the workplace.

International Labour Organization

The International Labour Organization (ILO) is a United Nations agency dealing with labour problems, particularly international labour standards, social protection, and work opportunities for all.

Kerley lines

Kerley lines are a sign seen on chest radiographs with interstitial pulmonary edema.

Lung cancer

Lung cancer, also known as lung carcinoma, is a malignant lung tumor characterized by uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the lung.

New!!: ILO Classification and Lung cancer · See more »

National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is the United States federal agency responsible for conducting research and making recommendations for the prevention of work-related injury and illness.

New!!: ILO Classification and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health · See more »

Pleural cavity

The pleural cavity is the thin fluid-filled space between the two pulmonary pleurae (known as visceral and parietal) of each lung.

New!!: ILO Classification and Pleural cavity · See more »

Pleural effusion

A pleural effusion is excess fluid that accumulates in the pleural cavity, the fluid-filled space that surrounds the lungs.

New!!: ILO Classification and Pleural effusion · See more »

Pneumoconiosis

Pneumoconiosis is an occupational lung disease and a restrictive lung disease caused by the inhalation of dust, often in mines and from agriculture.

New!!: ILO Classification and Pneumoconiosis · See more »

Pneumothorax

A pneumothorax is an abnormal collection of air in the pleural space between the lung and the chest wall.

New!!: ILO Classification and Pneumothorax · See more »

Pulmonary heart disease

Pulmonary heart disease, also known as cor pulmonale, is the enlargement and failure of the right ventricle of the heart as a response to increased vascular resistance (such as from pulmonic stenosis) or high blood pressure in the lungs.

New!!: ILO Classification and Pulmonary heart disease · See more »

Rib fracture

A rib fracture is a break in a rib bone.

New!!: ILO Classification and Rib fracture · See more »

Silicosis

Silicosis (also known as miner's phthisis, grinder's asthma, potter's rot and other occupation-related names, or by the invented name pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis) is a form of occupational lung disease caused by inhalation of crystalline silica dust, and is marked by inflammation and scarring in the form of nodular lesions in the upper lobes of the lungs.

New!!: ILO Classification and Silicosis · See more »

Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease usually caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB).
