28 patients presenting with proven pleuro-pulmonary pathology due to asbestos underwent conventional radiography and also computed tomography (TDM). It is evident that TDM was more sensitive in detecting the presence of pleural plaques which were either hidden or invisible on standard radiographs. False parietal images were often eliminated. With a mesothelioma it can guide the biopsy approach and by visualising contra-lateral plaques that the origin is asbestos. It should enable irregular plaques to be monitored more easily.
28例因石棉导致胸膜肺部病变确诊的患者接受了传统X线摄影及计算机断层扫描（TDM）。显然，TDM在检测胸膜斑的存在方面更敏感，这些胸膜斑在标准X线片上可能隐藏或不可见。假的胸壁影像常常被排除。对于间皮瘤，它可以指导活检方法，并通过显示对侧胸膜斑表明其起源为石棉。它应该能使不规则胸膜斑更容易被监测。
