Background Tracheomalacia is characterized by excessive expiratory collapse of the
trachea. Objective To investigate the accuracy of free-breathing cine CT for diagnosis of …

Background/Aims Tracheomalacia (TM) is not an unusual diagnosis in pediatric respiratory
clinics. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of paired static end‐inspiratory/end …

Background Tracheobronchomalacia, defined as variable collapse of the airways, has been
recognized as an important cause of respiratory morbidity but still widely underdiagnosed …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to use paired inspiratory–expiratory volumetric
MDCT to compare the frequency, severity, and pattern of air trapping in pediatric patients …

Objective To evaluate the use of a non‐breath held 3D‐CT‐bronchoscopy in detecting
tracheobronchomalacia in infants. Methods The study was based on 17 infants who …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of radiation
dose reduction on the assessment of the tracheal lumen on expiratory multidetector …

Purpose The purpose of this work was to determine whether cross-sectional area and
coronal and sagittal diameter measurements of the trachea between inspiration and end …

1.1. Background Tracheomalacia is the excessive collapse of the tracheal wall during
respiration [1]. In children, it can be classified as primary or secondary in origin. Primary …

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

Objectives/Hypothesis Both flexible and rigid bronchoscopy can be used to assess
tracheomalacia; however, there is limited evidence comparing the two techniques. The …
