Diagnostic imaging of the central airways has evolved from being the blind spot in the chest radiograph to involving complex imaging techniques in a region of great pathologic diversity. Just as diagnostic imaging has become more sophisticated, so have the techniques now available for the surgical treatment of these disorders. Close cooperation and consultation between the clinical and diagnostic teams will remain the hallmark of optimal patient care in this sophisticated diagnostic and treatment environment.
