Overview
The bronchogram is no longer used for the diagnosis of bronchiectasis.
Bronchiectasis Other Imaging Findings
Bronchogram
- The bronchogram was used commonly several years ago before it got replaced by high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT)
- Contrast material was instilled via a catheter or bronchoscope while performing plain radiographic imaging
- There is an associated risk of bronchoconstriction when used
