Purpose Lack of objective measurement of tracheal obstruction degree has a negative
impact on the chosen treatment prone to lead to unnecessary repeated explorations and …

Videobronchoscopy is a medical imaging technique that allows interactive navigation inside
the respiratory pathways and minimal invasive interventions. Tracheal procedures are …

OBJECTIVES Severity of airway narrowing is relevant to management decision-making
processes in patients with laryngotracheal stenosis. Airway lumen is frequently assessed …

Background We evaluated the ability of 3D-CT and virtual bronchoscopy to estimate trachea
stenosis in comparison to conventional axial CT and fiberoptic bronchoscopy, with a view to …

Videobronchoscopy is a medical imaging technique that allows interactive navigation inside
the respiratory pathways. This imaging modality provides realistic images and allows non …

Background: Quantitative assessment of airway caliber is generally confined to indirect
methods. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy provides a direct view of the airways, but measurement of …

Purpose This study was done to evaluate whether virtual endoscopy can be employed as a
preliminary technique to shorten the time required for the subsequent endoscopic procedure …

Background: Endoscopic estimation of the degree of stenosis in central airway obstruction is
subjective and highly variable. Objective: To determine the benefits of using SENSA (System …

Materials and methods In a retrospective study, we compared the results of 26 patients, who
had clinical suspected pathologies of the tracheobronchial airways and underwent both …

Objective To assess the sensitivity of noninvasive virtual bronchoscopy based on multirow
detector CT scanning in detecting and grading central and segmental airway stenosis using …
