Evaluation of the Physiological Changes in the Central Airway on Multi-Detector Computed Tomography

Conclusions: The APD at the level of the intrathoracic inlet is larger than that at the cricoid and 2 cm above the carina, while the TD is the opposite. These findings about the trachea and bronchus in our study may contribute to bronchoscopy examinations, tube applications, stent design, and stenting.Respiration
