Abstract：ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of high resolution CT in the diagnosis of bronchial dilation (extension) and the effect of post treatment technique.MethodsEighty inpatients with bronchiectasis and hemoptysis were divided into two groups: simple bronchiectasis/bronchiectasis with chronic pulmonary disease.The MSCT images were analyzed retrospectively and summarized. The multi-plane recombination (MPR) and the minimum density projection (MinIP) were used together. The different layer thickness and window technique were used to observe.ResultsThe extensive adduction of group A was accounted for 60.00% with cystic type (honeycomb type) and mixed type. Patients with 2-4 lobar branchectasis in Group B was accounted for 66.66%, with columnar type (columnar and clubbed) and mixed type. The secondary incidence of tuberculosis was accounted for 17.50%.ConclusionCT post-processing technique MPR thin layer and MinIP 3-5 mm thickness block (thick block) have obvious advantages in diagnosing bronchiectasis.It is helpful to find the diseased bronchus and reduce the time consuming in diagnosis.
