Multidetector CT of the central airways
Abstract
Multidetector CT (MDCT) has revolutionized non-invasive imaging of the central airways. Compared to single-detector helical CT scans, MDCT results in higher spatial resolution, faster speed, greater anatomic coverage, and higher quality multiplanar reformation and 3-D reconstruction images. This article reviews recent advances in central airway imaging with MDCT. A special emphasis is placed upon the role of advanced reconstruction methods and functional imaging.
