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 …

Study objectives: To compare the accuracy of virtual bronchoscopy (VB) with fiberoptic
bronchoscopy (FOB) and pulmonary function testing (PFT) for the assessment of tracheal …

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

Multidetector computed tomography-generated virtual bronchoscopy (VB) is a recent
technical development that allows visualisation of the lumen and wall of the trachea and …

Computed tomography (CT) of the lungs makes it possible to study individual airways. A
technique using high-resolution-CT (HRCT) has been developed to measure the internal …

Background: Since introduction of multislice CT scanners into clinical practice, virtual
brochoscopy has gained a lot of quality and diagnostic potential. Nevertheless it does not …

Background Small airway remodeling is the cardinal feature underlying chronic airway
diseases. There is no modality which identifies small airway pathological changes, which is …

Purpose: To investigate the effect of the threshold selection on the apparent diameter of a
virtual bronchus and the virtual wall morphology and to examine the parameters that can …

This study aimed to assess the feasibility of quantification of bronchial dimensions at MDCT
using dedicated software (BronCare). We evaluated the reliability of the software to segment …

The assessment of airway dimensions in patients with airway disease by using computed
tomography (CT) has been limited by the obliquity of bronchi, the ability to identify the …
