Emerging techniques for earlier diagnosis and assessment of severity and progression of artificial stone silicosis

石匠谁曾与工程石已被证明发展迅速进行和潜在的致命形式的硅肺。这项研究将使用来自维多利亚、西澳大利亚和昆士兰州受影响工人的数据。该研究将包括一系列项目，以调查与放射性筛查方法相关的许多不确定性，并调查评估疾病严重程度的新方法，并确定进展指标，为未来的实践提供信息。

Stonemasons who have worked with engineered stone have been shown to develop a rapidly progressive and potentially fatal form of silicosis. This research will use data from affected workers from Victoria, Western Australia and Queensland. The research will comprise a suite of projects to investigate many uncertainties related to radiological screening methods, as well as investigating new methods to assess disease severity and identify indicators of progression to inform future practice.
