Asbestos related pleural plaques :: Radiographs combined with patient history

Asbestos related pleural plaques
Lateral :: XR - Plain Film || ACR Codes: 6.2
Lateral radiogram demonstrates calcified diaphragmatic plaques & chest wall plaques. Please note that the en face plaques (red arrows) resemble a 'holly leaf' appearance, and the in profile plaques with squared off corners resemble a 'butte'. Proper term is asbestos exposure & not asbestosis (which refers to interstitial lung disease only).
