CT of Airways Disease and Bronchiectasis
http://www.radiologic.theclinics.com/article/S0033-8389(03)00105-2/abstract Georgeann McGuinness, MD ; David P Naidich, MD Evaluation of the airways has shifted to the use of CT as a first line examination, with bronchoscopy relegated to a secondary role. High-resolution CT (HRCT) techniques allow identification of findings associated with small airway disease, including structural and physiologic abnormalities. This article discusses HRCT findings […]
CT Patterns of Bronchiolar Disease
https://www.ajronline.org/doi/10.2214/ajr.171.2.9694453 Jannette Collins ; Donna Blankenbaker ; Eric J. Stern Bronchiolitis and bronchiolectasis are nonspecific inflammatory processes of the small airways caused by many different conditions. Imaging of bronchiolar disease is best performed by CT scanning, especially thin-section CT scanning. One characteristic of bronchiolar disease is a tree-in-bud pattern on CT, first used as a […]
