Description

We employed 3-dimensional computed tomography(3D-CT)to evaluate bronchial lesions in a patient with bronchial tuberculosis. Bronchial tuberculosis was diagnosed in 75-year-old woman by bronchoscopy and was successfully treated. 3D-CT clearly visualized the improvement of the bronchial lesions following treatment. Based on this experience, 3D-CT was found to be an excellent alternative to bronchoscopy for the evaluation of bronchial lesions with minimum stress for the patients and much less risk of exposure to infectious material by the medical staff.
