Abstract
Medical Imaging has played a major role in the evaluation of airway disease. Although chest radiographies may detect features of airway disease, computed tomography (CT) has revolutionized the impact of Imaging on the diagnosis, characterization, extent assessment, and follow-up of most large and small airway diseases. Multidetector CT, by combining helical volumetric CT acquisition and thin collimation during a single breath hold both at full inspiration and full expiration provides an accurate assessment of proximal airways allowing multiplanar reformations and 3D rendering of very high quality. This is highly appreciated in the evaluation of various post-traumatic, infectious, inflammatory or tumoral disorders of the trachea and proximal bronchi.
