title: Virtual bronchoscopy in the era of multi-detector computed tomography: Is there any reality?
abstract: Virtual bronchoscopy, in conjunction with axial and MPR MDCT images, can enhance diagnostic accuracy of tracheo-bronchial endoluminal pathologies. We describe a few cases highlighting the utility of virtual bronchoscopy in the diagnosis of varied tracheo-bronchial pathologies encountered in the setting of a tertiary care Armed Forces Hospital of India.
