Studies have shown subradiological silicosis is an important component for future radiologically detectable silicosis, lung cancer, lung tuberculosis, autoimmune disease, nephropathy etc. Lung function test shows reduction of both FVC & FEV1 although x-ray shows no abnormalities. So, if we need to prevent above diseases, subradiological silicosis should not be ignored. This may be treated as missed opportunity. Please leave your comments and understanding.
