Chest radiograph and computed tomography of chronic beryllium lung disease
The chest radiograph and computed tomogram (CT) from a patient with advanced beryllium lung disease show a right upper lobe conglomerate mass with heavy calcification as well as scarring and loss of volume in both upper lobes. The CT scan also shows several calcified subpleural nodules, consistent with beryllium.
