Computed tomography in the diagnosis of bronchiectasis.
Bronchiectasis is defined as abnormal, persistent bronchial dilatation, usually associated with inflammation in the bronchial tree and lung parenchyma. The disease remains a common cause of significant morbidity and mortality, especially when associated with COPD. Computed tomography (CT) is now the diagnostic modality of choice and may also contribute to clinical management. However, we would ...
متن کاملAssessment of bronchiectasis by computed tomography.
Computed tomography and bronchography were used to assess the distribution of bronchiectasis in 15 lungs from eight patients with clinical features of the disease. Of the 36 lobes adequately displayed by bronchography, 22 were found to have bronchiectasis and 14 were found to be normal by both techniques. Cystic disease was readily identified by computed tomography but the cylindrical and varic...
متن کاملAutomated detection of lung nodules in low-dose computed tomography
A computer-aided detection (CAD) system for the identification of pulmonary nodules in low-dose multi-detector computed-tomography (CT) images has been developed in the framework of the MAGIC-5 Italian project. One of the main goals of this project is to build a distributed database of lung CT scans in order to enable automated image analysis through a data and cpu GRID infrastructure. The basi...
متن کاملAccuracy of densitometry of two cone beam computed tomography equipment in comparison with computed tomography
BACKGROUND The use of oral implants has been growing, and cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) has become the method of choice for oral and maxillofacial radiology. OBJECTIVE To assess the accuracy of bone densitometry in two different CBCT devices in comparison with MDCT (multi-detector CT). METHODS Different concentrations of urografin, including 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5%, were prepa...
متن کاملRelationships between High-Resolution Computed Tomography, Lung Function and Bacteriology in Stable Bronchiectasis
To determine the relationship between high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings, lung function, and bacteriology in bronchiectasis, we conducted a retrospective study of 49 Korean patients with stable bronchiectasis. To quantify the extent and severity of bronchiectasis, we used a CT scoring system consisting of bronchial dilatation, bronchial wall thickening, the number of bronchiect...
