- Abstract
In this article the authors discuss various techniques for the imaging of tracheobronchomalacia (TBM). TBM refers to a softening of the wall of the airway that leads to expiratory collapse. According to the authors, traditional methods of diagnosing TBM include rigid or flexible bronchoscopy and bronchography, which require general anaesthesia. The authors say that the multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is an important technique for the evaluation of TBM.
