The radiological imaging of bronchial atresia.

The clinical and radiological findings in three cases of bronchial atresia are presented. Bronchial atresia has a characteristic plain radiographic appearance in the majority of cases. Computed tomography may be required to confirm the diagnosis. The condition often presents to the radiologist as an incidental finding on the chest radiograph in a patient undergoing investigation for an unrelated problem.

The role of magnetic resonance imaging in cystic fibrosis.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the chest was performed on eight patients with known cystic fibrosis. Comparison was made with the findings on plain chest radiographs. MRI shows a greater extent of disease than that predicted by the chest films alone and clearly demonstrates peribronchial thickening and mucoid impacted bronchi. It also distinguishes between hilar lymphadenopathy and enlarged proximal pulmonary vessels as the cause of prominent hilar shadows without the need for contrast injection.
