    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Radiology
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Bronchial asthma can be associated with tracheal abnormalities.
    • Accurate diagnosis of collapsing trachea is crucial for effective patient management.
    • Existing diagnostic methods may have limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel X-ray procedure for detecting and assessing the severity of collapsing trachea.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and practicality of this X-ray examination in patients with bronchial asthma.

    Main Methods:

    • A specialized X-ray examination procedure was developed and applied to 152 patients with bronchial asthma.
    • The technique is described as simple, non-burdensome, and similar to diaphragmatic motility examination.
    • Results were compared with a control group of 30 patients without expiratory stenosis.

    Main Results:

    • Collapsing trachea was detected in 114 out of 152 patients.
    • Tracheal stenosis severity was graded: 54 with degree I, 43 with degree II, and 8 with degree III.
    • Tracheomegaly was observed in 9 patients; no expiratory stenosis was found in the control group.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed X-ray procedure is effective for diagnosing collapsing trachea and its severity in bronchial asthma patients.
    • The method is simple, patient-friendly, and suitable for outpatient settings.
    • The study recommends its adoption by therapeutic roentgenologists in clinical practice.
