    Computed tomography (CT) can detect or exclude bronchiectasis in 77% of cases. However, CT is less sensitive than bronchography and may underestimate the extent of this irreversible bronchial dilation.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Pulmonology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Bronchiectasis is irreversible bronchial dilation, often requiring surgery.
    • Plain radiography lacks specificity for diagnosing bronchiectasis.
    • Bronchography is frequently needed for confirmation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare computed tomography (CT) with bronchography.
    • To assess CT's utility in diagnosing and determining the extent of bronchiectasis.

    Main Methods:

    • Twenty-six bronchograms were performed in 14 patients.
    • A segment-by-segment analysis of bronchiectasis presence, extent, and type was conducted.
    • CT findings were compared with bronchography results.

    Main Results:

    • CT correctly detected or excluded bronchiectasis in 77% (20/26) of lungs.
    • No false-positive CT diagnoses were observed.
    • CT underestimated disease extent in 60% (6/10) of lungs with bronchiectasis, particularly with small cystic or minimal cylindrical bronchiectasis, or obscured bronchi.

    Conclusions:

    • CT is a valuable tool for diagnosing bronchiectasis but is less sensitive than bronchography.
    • CT may underestimate the extent of bronchiectasis, necessitating careful interpretation.
    • Thin-section CT improved bronchial definition but did not consistently improve extent estimation.
