Abstract

Objective To evaluate CT virtual bronchoscopy (CTVB) in clinical practice.Materials and Methods CTVB was performed in 44 patients with the help of endoscopic software (Navigator fly through). The diagnosis in all patients was proved pathologically. The findings on CTVB were compared with bronchofiberoscopic results.Results The sensitivity of CTVB to the demonstration of intraluminal lesions was 75.4%, while the specificity was a little bit lower.Conclusion CTVB is a noninvasive diagnostic technique and may be served as a supplement to bronchofiberoscopy.
