©2013 UpToDate ® Print Email Asbestosis CT scan in asbestosis shows bibasilar opacities which are difficult to differentiate from gravitational changes without a prone scan. There are several small cystic, honeycomb-like changes at the left lung base as well as a pleural plaque in the right anterior hemithorax, findings which make the diagnosis of asbestosis likely.
