Abstract:
Bronchiectasis is defined as localized irreversible dilatation of the bronchial tree. Brochiectasis has been associated with a wide variety of causes, but it is mostly caused by acute, chronic or recurrent infections. This paper should give a review about the manifestation of bronchiectasis and bronchioloectasis in HR-CT and discuss the causing entities. However, integration of bronchiectasis and other HR-CT findings may enable a narrower differential diagnosis, in some cases it is possible to give the correct diagnose directly.
