From: Imaging diagnosis of classical and new pneumoconiosis: predominant reticular HRCT pattern
Two types of advanced asbestosis. a A honeycomb type of asbestosis. Postmortem low-kilovoltage radiograph and HRCT scan of the inflated and fixed left lung shows honeycombing in the lower two-thirds of the lung. In the subpleural zones of upper lung, dot-like lesions are seen (arrows). b An atelectatic fibrosis type of asbestosis. Postmortem low-kilovoltage radiograph and HRCT scan of the inflated and fixed left lung shows diffuse pleural thickening and consolidated area extending along the bronchovascular sheath. Traction bronchiectasis is seen in the consolidated area. Honeycombing is not seen radiologically. In the subpleural zones of upper lung, subpleural dots and subpleural lines are also seen (arrows)
