Dr. Allison Tillack has recently become a Certified B-Reader.

There are only 207 certified B-readers in the United States.

This unique designation requires specialized professional training and certication through the National Institure for Occupational Safety and Health for demonstrating prociency in reading diagnostic imaging associated with pneumoconiosis.

B-Readers play an important role in providing medical diagnosis and follow-up for workers with occupational exposures to airborne particulates such as coal mine dust, asbestos, and crystalline silica. Recently implemented Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations have increased the need for the services provided by B-Readers and Inland Imaging is proud to be able to offer those services due to Dr. Tillack’s special training and expertise.

Pneumoconiosis is a lung disease caused by the inhalation of airborne dust and fibers. Patients usually encounter these inhalants in the workplace environment, and therefore it is considered an occupational disease. The most common types of pneumoconiosis are asbestosis, silicosis, and coal miner’s lung. These particles cause inflammation and fibrosis in the lung resulting in irreversible lung disease. Prevention relies on workplace exposure management and health management regulations.
