El estudio de las bronquiectasias mediante la tomografía axial computarizada en quince pacientes ofrece buena especificidad a nivel lobar y segmentario, sin embargo la sensibilidad tiene menor calidad. Esta baja sensibilidad podría estar relacionada con la técnica de realización de la tomografía axial computarizada (TAC). La TAC se ha mostrado útil en el screening de pacientes con sospecha de bronquiectasias.
In a study of 15 patients with bronchiectasis computed axial tomography disclosed a good specifícity at lobar and segmentary level but a low sensitivity. The low sensitivity might be related to the technique of computed axial tomography (CAT). CAT has been found useful in the screening of patients with suspected bronchiectasis.
