TECHNICAL PARAMETERS AND CRITERIA FOR VIRTUAL BRONCHOSCOPY IN DIAGNOSTICS OF TRACHIAL AND BRONCHIAL RUPTURES

VB is a non-invasive technique and follow-up tool tolerant of most patients, requiring a precise method of diagnosis, especially in ruptures with the formation of high-grade stenoses for which FB is not applicable, as well as in children and elderly or severely ill patients. The study aims to track the technical parameters, key indicators, and criteria for optimizing the diagnostic capabilities of Virtual bronchoscopy (VB) in tracheal and bronchial ruptures. Optimization of the technical parameters of the scans taking into account the age of the patient, the weight, the size, the nature of the ruptures and the severity of the diagnosis; the application of appropriate criteria and parameters for the diagnosis and evaluation of the tracheobronchial tree, combined with the capabilities of modern equipment, guarantee the high reliability, sensitivity, and specificity of the VB method.
