“…In 2011, the International Labor Organization criteria for radiograph acquisition have expanded to include digital radiography with flat-panel detector viewing [44]. More recent studies continue to support the equivalence of analog radiography and digital radiography [40,[45][46][47].…”

“…In some jurisdictions, in this case Korea, analog radiography persists as the standard for respiratory surveillance. Lee and Choi [50] concluded that soft images from a flat-panel detector of digital radiography provide more accurate and reliable results in pneumoconiosis classification and diagnosis than analog radiographs, and concluded that, in the circumstance where HRCT is not available, digital radiograph is preferred. Conflictingly, [69] found digital and analog radiography to be equivalent.…”

Pneumoconiosis, or occupational lung disease, is one of the world’s most prevalent work-related diseases. Silicosis, a type of pneumoconiosis, is caused by inhaling respirable crystalline silica (RCS) dust. Although silicosis can be fatal, it is completely preventable. Hundreds of thousands of workers globally are at risk of being exposed to RCS at the workplace from various activities in many industries. Currently, in Australia and internationally, there are a range of methods used for the respiratory surveillance of workers exposed to RCS. These methods include health and exposure questionnaires, spirometry, chest X-rays, and HRCT. However, these methods predominantly do not detect the disease until it has significantly progressed. For this reason, there is a growing body of research investigating early detection methods for silicosis, particularly biomarkers. This literature review summarises the research to date on early detection methods for silicosis and makes recommendations for future work in this area. Findings from this review conclude that there is a critical need for an early detection method for silicosis, however, further laboratory- and field-based research is required.

“…The use of chest radiography in occupational lung disease is slowly adapting to evolving radiographic techniques, as ongoing research proves the equivalence of digital radiography to the standard analog films [47], and digital radiographic standards for ILO scoring have recently been made available [48]. Several specific issues, however, have led to the retention of chest radiography as the primary screening and monitoring tool in most occupational lung diseases.…”
