CT - Chest with Virtual Bronochoscopy

CT Chest with Virtual Bronchoscopy is an advanced imaging technique that combines high-resolution CT scanning with specialized software to create a virtual, three-dimensional view of the airways (bronchi) inside the lungs.

This non-invasive procedure allows detailed evaluation of the trachea and bronchial tree, helping detect abnormalities such as tumors, airway narrowing, blockages, infections, and congenital defects. It serves as a valuable alternative or complement to conventional bronchoscopy, especially when invasive procedures are not preferred.

The scan also provides comprehensive information about lung tissues, lymph nodes, and surrounding structures. It may be performed with or without contrast depending on the clinical indication.

CT Chest with Virtual Bronchoscopy is widely used in diagnosing respiratory conditions, evaluating airway obstruction, and planning surgical or interventional procedures.

This test is recommended for individuals with:

• Persistent cough
• Breathing difficulty or wheezing
• Suspected airway obstruction
• Recurrent lung infections
• Suspected tumors in the airway
• Abnormal chest imaging findings
• Pre-procedural evaluation for bronchoscopy
