| Popis: | Computed tomography (CT) was performed in 86 patients with bronchoscopically proven endobronchial neoplasms. There were 76 primary and 10 metastatic lesions. CT correctly identified the abnormal airway in 95% of cases (82/86) by demonstrating either nodule, mass, or stricture. A discrete endobronchial nodule was seen in 55% (47/86). There was good morphological correlation of CT with bronchoscopic findings (89% for discrete nodule, 80% overall). Appropriate atelectasis was noted in 80% (69/86) of cases. CT is sensitive in detecting and localizing endobronchial neoplasms and correlates well with bronchoscopic findings. |
