Causes for airways obstruction in infants and children vary considerably from those encountered in adult populations. The recent dissemination of rapid CT scan (helical and electron beam) has changed the diagnostic imaging approach in children with suspected airways obstruction. Fast CT scan not only detects the location of obstruction with high sensitivity but also frequently provides clues to specific pathologic diagnoses.
婴幼儿气道阻塞的原因与成人有很大差异。近期快速CT扫描(螺旋CT和电子束CT)的普及改变了疑似气道阻塞儿童的诊断成像方法。快速CT扫描不仅能高灵敏度地检测出阻塞部位,还常常能为特定病理诊断提供线索。
