“…They emphasize that VB allows non-invazive and fairly accurate assessment of the 3D tracheobronchial tree. Ferretti et al (22) indicate that tumors of the trachea and central bronchi can be benign and malignant as clinical picture, especially in benign tumors the picture can be confusing and they can be diagnosed as asthma or chronic bronchitis. They state that the radiography of the thorax has many limitations and often is not representative in patients with tumors of the central airways.…”

Virtual bronchoscopy (VB) is 3-dimensional computer-generated technology, creating endobronchial images from spiral CT data. The study aims to present summarized results from researches of different foreign authors about the advantages of VB, the possibilities for its application and the effectiveness of its use in routine practice in the diagnosis of tumors of the trachea and bronchi. The three-dimensional model of the tracheobronchial tree allows assessment of the airways from inside. The majority of the examined studies relate to the diagnosis of new formations of the respiratory tract, preparation for surgery, assessment of the results of surgery, etc. VB is a noninvasive method allowing to examine the smallest bronchi. Relatively few studies in Bulgaria as well as the ensured during recent years new modern equipment for VB and MDCT, provide great opportunities for making VB examinations to study the effectiveness and its wide application in daily X-ray practice.

“…Direct mediastinal extension of tumour is not uncommon (Figure 12). Approximately 10% of lesions are multifocal, which necessitates careful evaluation of the remainder of the airway when SCC is suspected [29].…”

A variety of pathologic processes can involve the central airways. Abnormalities may either diffusely or focally involve the tracheal or mainstem bronchial walls. Diseases that diffusely involve the tracheal wall can be subclassified as sparing the membranous trachea or circumferentially involving the tracheal wall. Focal diseases of the trachea and mainstem bronchi include benign and malignant causes. Additionally, congenital and acquired morphologic abnormalities of the trachea will be reviewed.

“…MDCT plays a key role in depicting tumors of the tracheobronchial tree [3][4][5] and in assessing their extent within the lumen, airway wall, and surrounding structures before treatment planning. Airway lesions Ͼ5 mm are usually detected on CT because of the natural contrast between luminal air and soft-tissue attenuation of the lesions.…”
