It has previously been demonstrated that three-dimensional (3D) displays of the lung and bronchial tree can be generated from computed tomography (CT) scans of lung specimens. Subsequent refinement of the reconstruction algorithms has allowed high-resolution reconstructions of lungs in vivo. With the introduction of low-dose CT scan protocols, use of the technique may become more common in the radiologic community. The many potential clinical applications for 3D imaging of the lung include an aid to bronchoscopy and improved surgical planning. We present the technical details for 3D imaging of the lungs in vivo as well as three representative case studies.
此前已经证明，可以从肺部标本的计算机断层扫描（CT）中生成肺和支气管树的三维（3D）显示。随后重建算法的改进使得能够在体内对肺进行高分辨率重建。随着低剂量CT扫描方案的引入，该技术在放射学界的应用可能会更加普遍。肺部3D成像的许多潜在临床应用包括辅助支气管镜检查和改进手术规划。我们展示了体内肺部3D成像的技术细节以及三个具有代表性的病例研究。
