Some of the difficulties encountered during transbronchial lung biopsy through a flexible
bronchofiberscope are due to anatomical reasons, namely the branching angles of some …

Background Quantitative measurement of airway dimensions using computed tomography
(CT) is performed in relatively larger airways due to the limited resolution of CT scans …

Objectives: Describe the technique of flexible and rigid bronchoscopy. Review the
indications for bronchoscopy. Summarize the contraindications of bronchoscopy. Outline the …

Objective: to evaluate the influence of different spiral CT examination protocols suitable for
clinical use on image quality and to assess the observer dependence in interactive real-time …

Diagnostic bronchoscopy and tissue sampling techniques using forceps (endobronchial
biopsy [EBB] and transbronchial biopsies [TBB]) or needle aspiration (transbronchial needle …

BACKGROUND: Bronchial dimensions measured in CT images generally do not take
inspiration level into consideration. However, some studies showed that the bronchial …

We evaluated the usefulness of CT as compared with both visual and pathologic findings
from fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) in detecting bronchial lesions in 100 consecutive …

Introduction Airway remodeling in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD) results in bronchial wall thickening. Bronchial wall thickness (BWT) can be …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to compare three-dimensional airway lumen
