title: [Lung, bronchus, thorax].
abstract: Accumulating evidences suggested that three dimensional computed tomography(3D-CT) is important modality for differential diagnosis of tumorous lesion in lung. Here we report that virtual reconstruction of lung by 3D-CT is useful for diagnosis of emphysematous lesion, cystic lung disease, spontaneous pneumothorax and virtualized endoscopy.
