Abstract:
Virtual bronchoscopy using a multislice CT scanner, is a new non-invasive imaging technique and its utility in the diagnosis of inhalation injury in burnt patients has not been reported in literature yet. Initial experience of technique is encouraging and it merits more interest. It overcomes many of the limitations of the presently established procedure of fibreoptic bronchoscopy. Ten burned patients with clinical suspicion of inhalation injury underwent this investigation and in eight of these the diagnosis was confirmed.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due to...
