lüll State-of-the-art imaging of the central airways Boiselle PM; Ernst ARespiration 2003[Jul]; 70 (4): 383-94Recent technological advances in CT imaging have revolutionized non-invasive imaging of the central airways. It is now possible to image the entire central airways in a few seconds and to create elegant three-dimensional reconstructions of the airways in a few minutes. The fast speed of CT scanning now allows for a dynamic assessment of the central airways, expanding the ability to non-invasively detect functional abnormalities such as tracheobronchomalacia. The purpose of this article is to familiarize clinicians with recent advances in airway imaging. A special emphasis is placed upon advanced CT reconstruction methods and their potential contributions to the evaluation of a variety of airway disorders.|*Magnetic Resonance Imaging[MESH]|*Radiography, Thoracic[MESH]|*Tomography, X-Ray Computed/methods[MESH]|Bronchoscopy[MESH]|Diagnostic Techniques, Respiratory System[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Image Processing, Computer-Assisted[MESH]|Imaging, Three-Dimensional[MESH]|Respiratory System/*diagnostic imaging/*pathology[MESH]|User-Computer Interface[MESH] |
