Resumen Report of a 3-year survey. The authors study the various difficulties encountered in conducting miniature radiography campaigns for screening for lung disease in construction workers (reluctance of many physicians to forego the use of fluoroscopy, problems due to the mobility of worksites, etc.). They find that miniature radiography screening is best suited to office employees in the sector (and possibly building workers on large worksites). Disuse of fluoroscopy might mean giving up the only means of coverage of workers on remote construction sites. Miniature radiography is more efficacious than fluoroscopy as regards silicosis; in the case of tuberculosis, use of miniature radiography screening yielded a rate of 0.5 per 1,000.
