Background Tracheobronchomalacia, defined as variable collapse of the airways, has been
recognized as an important cause of respiratory morbidity but still widely underdiagnosed …

Introduction Flexible bronchoscopy (FB) is the current gold standard for diagnosing
tracheobronchomalacia. However, it is not always feasible and virtual bronchoscopy (VB) …

Objective To evaluate the use of a non‐breath held 3D‐CT‐bronchoscopy in detecting
tracheobronchomalacia in infants. Methods The study was based on 17 infants who …

Background Tracheomalacia is characterized by excessive expiratory collapse of the
trachea. Objective To investigate the accuracy of free-breathing cine CT for diagnosis of …

Tracheobronchomalacia is characterised by excessive airway collapsibility due to weakness
of airway walls and supporting cartilage. The standard definition requires reduction in cross …

Tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) is defined as an excessive collapse of the intrathoracic
trachea. Bronchoscopy is the gold standard for diagnosing TBM; however it has major …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential use of multidetector CT (MDCT)
and virtual bronchoscopy (VB) in the evaluation of tracheobronchial patency in children with …

Background/Aims Tracheomalacia (TM) is not an unusual diagnosis in pediatric respiratory
clinics. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of paired static end‐inspiratory/end …

Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate the dynamic volumetric CT in the
assessment of the paediatric airway. Methods Ethics board approval was obtained for this …

Background Flexible bronchoscopy (FB) is the gold standard method of diagnosing
tracheomalacia but it is not always feasible in settings with limited resources. Fluoroscopy is …
