PURPOSE: To characterize areas of decreased attenuation on expiratory computed
tomographic (CT) scans in patients with bronchiectasis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: CT …

To assess the accuracy of computed tomography (CT) in the evaluation of bronchiectasis,
we performed thin-section CT in 36 patients with clinical findings suggestive of this …

PURPOSE: To compare thin-section computed tomography (CT) and helical CT in the
detection and assessment of the extent of bronchiectasis. MATERIALS AND METHODS …

Many patients with bronchiectasis have diffuse airways obstruction and this may be the
dominant symptom. This study was performed to assess whether the severity of airway …

The aim of the study was to determine whether various causes of bronchiectasis can be
differentiated by the pattern and distribution of abnormalities seen on high-resolution CT …

BACKGROUND An obstructive defect is usual in bronchiectasis, but the pathophysiological
basis of airflow obstruction remains uncertain. High resolution computed tomographic (CT) …

In a multicenter study, we evaluated the relationships between the extent and severity of
bronchiectasis on CT and clinical symptoms, spirometric abnormality, and sputum …

PURPOSE: To evaluate clinical relevance of high-resolution computed tomographic (CT)
findings in patients with bronchiectasis by using a quantitative high-resolution CT protocol to …

The usefulness of CT with 4-mm-thickness cuts at 5-mm intervals in the diagnosis of
bronchiectasis was studied by comparing the results of CT with those of bronchography in …

In bronchiectasis the morphological determinants of (marginal) fluctuations in pulmonary
function tests are uncertain. The aim of the present study was to evaluate serial computed …
