OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to evaluate the role of dynamic inspiratory-
expiratory imaging with multidetector CT in patients with suspected tracheobronchomalacia …

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to compare dynamic expiratory imaging and end-
expiratory imaging using multi-detector CT (MDCT) of the central airways in patients …

PURPOSE: To compare dynamic expiratory and end-expiratory computed tomography (CT)
for depicting central airway collapse in patients with acquired tracheobronchomalacia …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to compare the frequency and severity of air
trapping in patients with and without tracheobronchomalacia using dynamic expiratory …

Tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) refers to excessive expiratory collapse of the trachea and
bronchi as a result of weakening of the airway walls and/or supporting cartilage. This …

Objectives: Dynamic flexible bronchoscopy is the “gold standard” for assessing changes in
airway luminal size associated with tracheobronchomalacia, but the procedure has not been …

OBJECTIVE. The objective of this study was to describe the role of pre-and postoperative
dynamic CT in patients undergoing tracheoplasty, a novel surgical method for treatment of …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Investigators in this study compared standard-dose and
low-dose inspiratory and expiratory computed tomographic (CT) images with regard to their …

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

Unambiguous definitions and clinically useful classifications provide a common language
