Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility of Helical CT for tracheo-bronchial tree imaging.
  • To explore the potential of new image processing techniques for virtual endoscopy.
  • To assess the anatamo-radiological findings and educational value.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Helical CT for imaging the tracheo-bronchial tree.
  • Applied novel image processing techniques (GEMS research) to generate virtual endoscopic images.
  • Reviewed initial anatamo-radiological findings.
