Virtual bronchoscopy is a new noninvasive technique that provides an internal view of the tracheobronchial tree. The purpose of our study was to assess the role of this technique as compared with fiberoptic bronchoscopy in the evaluation of suspected compression or narrowing of the trachea and main bronchi in children.
Preliminary results suggest that virtual bronchoscopy may have a useful complementary role to fiberoptic bronchoscopy in evaluation of the tracheobronchial tree of children.
虚拟支气管镜检查是一种新的无创技术,可提供气管支气管树的内部视图。我们研究的目的是评估该技术与纤维支气管镜检查相比,在评估儿童疑似气管和主支气管受压或狭窄方面的作用。
初步结果表明,在评估儿童气管支气管树方面,虚拟支气管镜检查可能对纤维支气管镜检查具有有益的辅助作用。
