Imaging findings
Chest CT demonstrates calcified pleural plaques and early interstitial lung disease characterized by prominent subpleural curvilinear lines and subpleural dots representing peribronchial fibrosis in a patient with historical asbestos exposure.
Key takeaways
Subpleural curvilinear lines running parallel to the pleural surface are a classic CT sign of early asbestosis, helping distinguish it from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
