CT Bronchoscopy is a non-invasive examination that uses 3D reconstruction to provide an internal view of the trachea and major bronchi.
Bronchoscopy is accomplished through the acquisition of thin section computed tomography (CT) images of the chest. On a graphics workstation, these images are used to create a three-dimensional model of the tracheal and bronchial walls.
A bronchoscopy may be performed to diagnose and treat lung conditions such as tumours or bronchial cancer. Airway obstruction (obstruction) confined spaces in the airways (strictures)
Doctors recommend this test if you have:
* Cough
* Bronchial Obstruction
* Tumour
* Haemoptysis
* Inflammation
* Breathing Difficulties
* Lung Biopsy
Before the exam, don't drink or eat anything after midnight. You must bring all medical records and any medications you are taking. If you are taking aspirin or a blood thinner, consult your doctor because you must discontinue these medications one week before the exam. Before the examination, you must remove all metallic ornaments.
Your throat will be sprayed with anaesthetic. Your nose is rubbed with anaesthetic gel. Then, a bronchoscope is placed in your nose and mouth and inserted into your airways to diagnose the problem while vital signs are monitored. You may feel uneasy, but it should not harm you.
