Written by recognized authorities on thoracic imaging, this volume is
the first to examine all modalities뾟oth noninvasive and invasive?
for visualizing the airways. Emphasis is placed on correlating CT
images with bronchoscopy, to aid in interpreting CT findings and in
performing interventional bronchoscopic procedures.

After a review of airway imaging techniques and anatomy, the book
presents correlating CT and bronchoscopic images for a wide range of
pathologic entities. Detailed chapters examine the trachea and
central bronchi, the diagnosis of bronchiectasis, and the use of CT
in diagnosing small airway disease. A chapter on functional imaging
of the airways is also included
