Bradley P Thomas et al. AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2009 Mar.

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this article is to illustrate the usefulness and limitations of CT virtual endoscopy in the evaluation of large airway disease.

The benefits of this technique include noninvasive diagnostic surveillance and preoperative planning.
