Multi-detector computed tomography imaging of large airway pathology: A pictorial review

Figure 15 Airway wall pathology. Traumatic tracheal rent-Axial (A) and oblique coronal MinIP (B) images show a focal air containing outpouching at the level of carina in midline projecting antero-inferiorly (arrows). Virtual bronchoscopy (C) shows a focal defect within the wall of trachea at the level of carina (arrow). Note made of marked subcutaneous emphysema (arrowhead in B ). Tracheo-esophageal fistula-sagittal MPR image (D) of another case shows a thin faint air containing tract (arrow) extending from esophagus (e) to trachea (t). MPR: Multiplanar reformation; MinIP: Minimum intensity projection.
