Multidetector computed tomography (CT) allows for an accurate, noninvasive means of evaluating tracheal anatomy and pathology. The integration of information obtained from axial images, multiplanar reformats and 3-D rendering enables precise anatomical localization of tracheal pathology, provides detailed information on surrounding structures, aids in surgical planning, and allows for assessment of posttreatment response. Although bronchoscopy remains the gold standard in the diagnosis of tracheal pathology, the proper utilization of radiologic imaging can allow for improved patient care.
多层螺旋计算机断层扫描（CT）可提供一种准确、无创的方法来评估气管解剖结构和病变。通过整合来自轴位图像、多平面重建和 3D 渲染的信息，可以对气管病变进行精确的解剖定位，提供有关周围结构的详细信息，有助于手术计划，并可评估治疗后的反应。虽然支气管镜检查仍然是诊断气管病变的金标准，但正确利用影像学检查可以改善患者的护理。
