Abstract
Imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and monitoring of occupational lung diseases (OLDs); however, the sensitivity and specificity of detection and diagnosis vary greatly depending on the imaging modality used. There is substantial overlap in appearance with non-occupation-related entities. OLDs should be considered in the differential even in the absence of a provided exposure history. Because many findings are not specific, a multidisciplinary approach is important in arriving at the diagnosis and will continue to be important as workplace-related pulmonary diseases evolve with changing industrial practices and workplace regulations.
