OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the results of virtual bronchoscopy (VB)
images in defining tracheobronchial pathologies with those of fiber-optic bronchoscopy …

Bronchoscopy is an important diagnostic method for the tracheobronchial, thoracic, and
mediastinal lesions. It is limited by the physical progression of the bronchoscope. This …

Multidetector CT generated virtual bronchoscopy (VB) represents one of the most recent
developments in three-dimensional (3D) visualization techniques which allows a 3D …

Background Virtual bronchoscopy (VB) is a type of 3-dimensional reconstruction in which
the observation point is placed within the airway to produce an endoscopiclike view. Aim To …

Introduction: Virtual bronchoscopy (VB) is a new, noninvasive diagnostic technique which
allows visualizing trachea and bronchi. Virtual images are created on the basis of data …

Background: Virtual bronchoscopy software is now available to district general hospitals
(DGHs). There is limited information on the clinical utility of virtual bronchoscopy and …

Objective: Virtual bronchoscopy is a novel technique making use of 3-dimensional
reconstruction of 2-dimensional helical computed tomographic images for noninvasive …

Virtual bronchoscopy has emerged over the past decade as a potentially complementary
investigation to conventional bronchoscopy in the diagnosis, grading, and monitoring of …

BACKGROUND: Virtual bronchoscopy (VB) could obviate flexible bronchoscopy (FB) if no
endobronchial lesion is detected in patients presenting with a suspicion of malignancy. Our …

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of virtual bronchoscopy, under proper threshold settings, on
observer level of confidence in the assessment of bronchial abnormalities producing …
