“…In addition, this study did not confirm an association between tracheal collapse and bronchiectasis as was reported previously in a retrospective study 21 . This difference could be explained by the fact that the current study utilized bronchoscopy to diagnose both airway collapse and bronchiectasis, while the previous study used radiographs alone, which are variably able to detect collapse or bronchiectasis 2,22 …”

“…21 This difference could be explained by the fact that the current study utilized bronchoscopy to diagnose both airway collapse and bronchiectasis, while the previous study used radiographs alone, which are variably able to detect collapse or bronchiectasis. 2,22 Radiographs were relatively useful in ruling out tracheal collapse although collapse of 1 or more large airway segments was incorrectly reported in almost 25% of dogs lacking airway collapse. In addition, radiographs performed poorly in documenting sublobar collapse.…”

Background: Tracheobronchomalacia is diagnosed in people by documentation of a reduction in airway diameter during bronchoscopy. While tracheal collapse in the dog has been well described in the literature, little information is available on bronchomalacia in the dog.Hypotheses: Bronchomalacia is common in dogs with tracheal collapse, is associated with inflammatory airway disease, and is poorly documented radiographically.Animals: One hundred and fifteen dogs admitted for evaluation for respiratory disease and examined by bronchoscopy. Methods: Case-controlled, observational study. Dogs examined and having a bronchoscopic procedure performed by a single operator were separated into groups with and without visually identified airway collapse. Clinical parameters and bronchoalveolar lavage findings were compared between groups. Radiographs were reviewed in masked fashion to assess the sensitivity and specificity for detection of bronchomalacia.Results: Tracheobronchomalacia was documented in 50% of dogs examined, with tracheal collapse in 21% and bronchomalacia in 47%. In dogs with bronchomalacia, collapse of the right middle (59%) and left cranial (52%) lung lobes was identified most commonly. Dogs with bronchomalacia were significantly more likely to display normal airway cytology and to have mitral regurgitation and cardiomegaly than dogs without airway collapse (P o .05). Radiographs were insensitive for detection of airway collapse.Conclusions and Clinical Importance: Bronchomalacia was identified more commonly than tracheal collapse in this population of dogs, and documentation required bronchoscopy. This study could not confirm a role for airway inflammation in bronchomalacia, and further studies are required to determine the role of cardiomegaly in the disorder.

“…This is not new, 28,[34][35][36][37][38][39][40] because CT is the standard method for diagnosing bronchiectasis. 8,28,34,[37][38][39]41 Of interest are cases in which bronchiectasis was not suspected but was found with CT, which contributed to the yield of CT in the other groups.…”

Advances in computed tomography (CT) scanner technology have made isotropic volumetric, multiplanar high-resolution lung imaging possible in a single breath-hold, a significant advance over the incremental high-resolution CT (HRCT) technique in which noncontiguous images sampled the lung, but lacked anatomic continuity. HRCT of the lungs is an established imaging technique for the diagnosis and management of interstitial lung disease, emphysema, and small airway disease, providing a noninvasive detailed evaluation of the lung parenchyma, and providing information about the lungs as a whole and focally. In addition to having a high degree of specificity for diagnosing conditions such as emphysema, sarcoidosis, usual interstitial pneumonitis, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, and small airway disease, there is a growing body of medical evidence to support the use of HRCT findings or diagnosis to predict patient prognosis. In this article, we review the technique, advantages, and clinical applications of the current HRCT technique.
