Diseases of the Airways
Now that bronchography is rarely performed, the imaging modality of
choice to diagnose bronchiectasis is HRCT. Bronchiectasis is defined
as damage to the bronchial wall that results in irreversible dilatation of
the bronchi, whatever the cause. Thus, the main feature of
bronchiectasis on HRCT is dilatation of the bronchi with or without
bronchial wall thickening. Criteria for the HRCT identification of
abnormally dilated bronchi depend on the orientation of the bronchi in
relation to the plane of the HRCT section
