Abstract:
39 patients with the clinical feature, X-ray and respiratory functional test suggested the bronchodilatation and alveolar dilatation received the spiral CT scanner with the high resolution. The results found that the spiral CT scanner with high resolution allowed evaluating the diffusion level and bronchial lumen and the wall of brachial as well as surrounding alveolus. The spiral CT scanner with the high resolution in the diagnosis of bronchodilation has a high sensitivity (91%) and the specificity (100%) comparing with the standard lung X-ray and conventional CT scanner.
