“…The clue in differentiating active endobronchial tuberculosis from malignant obstruction with FDG PET/CT could lie in careful tracing of the obstruction site. Active endobronchial tuberculosis usually presents with irregular airway narrowing along a long segment with wall thickening, whereas chronic or fibrotic endobronchial tuberculosis usually presents with smooth airway stricture and thin walls [10,[24][25][26]. Although not seen in our series, active tuberculosis would show a long segment of increased FDG uptake.…”

“…Despite these numerous advantages, VE does not have the potential to replace RE which remains the technique for the analysis of mucosal abnormalities and the exclusive way of obtaining histological samples. In the near future, VE is expected to complement not only RE but also other imaging modalities of the bronchial tree including segmented transverse imaging, MPRs, MPVR [75], slabs, and 3D.…”

Multiplanar and three-dimensional reconstruction techniques in CT: impact on chest diseases

et al. 1998

The purpose of this review is to capture the current state-of-the art of the technical aspects of multiplanar and three-dimensional (3D) images and their thoracic applications. Planimetric and volumetric analysis resulting from volumetric data acquisitions obviates the limitations of segmented transverse images. Among the 3D reconstruction techniques currently available, the most recently introduced technique, i. e., volume rendering, has to be evaluated in comparison with 3D shaded surface display and maximum or minimum intensity projection. Slabs are useful in detecting and localizing micronodular or microtubular patterns and in analyzing mild forms of uneven attenuation of the lungs. Three-dimensional angiography is helpful in the pretherapeutic evaluation and posttreatment follow-up of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations, in the comprehension of the postoperative reorientation of the pulmonary vessels, in the surgical planning of pulmonary tumors, and in the diagnosis of marginated thrombi. The systemic supply to the lung and superior vena cava syndromes are also relevant to these techniques. In acquired or congenital tracheobronchial diseases including stenosis, extraluminal air and complex airway anatomy, multiplanar and 3D reformations have a complementary role to both transaxial images and endoscopy. New developments are also expected in various topics such as 3D conformal radiation therapy, planning of intraluminal bronchoscopic therapy, virtual endoscopy, and functional imaging of the bronchial tree. Miscellaneous clinical applications are promising in the analysis of diaphragmatic morphology and pathophysiology, in the volumetric quantification of the lung parenchyma, and in the vascular components of the thoracic outlet syndromes.

“…The CT findings have been reported to include smooth bronchostenosis and peribronchial lymph nodes along with peripheral atelectasis [6,8,9,11]. Bronchogenic carcinoma and endobronchial tuberculosis (TB) are two main causes of bronchostenosis that can be accompanied by peribronchial nodes and atelectasis [12,13].…”
