Virtual Bronchoscopy
Virtual bronchoscopy is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging test that uses computed tomography (CT) scans to produce detailed three-dimensional images of the airways in the lungs. In this article, we will discuss how the test is conducted, test preparation, common symptoms for ordering the test, time taken for the test and its results interpretation, and its importance in corporate health wellness packages.
Test Procedure : During a virtual bronchoscopy, the patient lies on a table that slides into a CT scanner. The CT scanner takes multiple images of the lungs and airways, which are then combined to create a 3D image of the airways. The virtual bronchoscopy procedure usually takes between 30 to 60 minutes to complete.
Test Preparation : Patients undergoing virtual bronchoscopy will need to follow specific instructions, such as not eating or drinking for several hours before the test. Patients should also inform their doctor of any allergies they have or any medications they are taking. They may be asked to hold their breath at times during the test to help obtain clear images.
Common Symptoms for Ordering the Test  : Virtual bronchoscopy may be ordered by a doctor to investigate the following symptoms or conditions:
- Persistent cough
- Wheezing
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain
- Recurrent
- respiratory
- infections
- Abnormal chest X-ray or CT scan findings
- Evaluation for lung cancer or other lung diseases
- Time Taken for the Test and its Results Interpretation
Virtual bronchoscopy usually takes between 30 to 60 minutes to complete. After the test, a radiologist or pulmonologist will interpret the images and provide a report to the referring doctor. The report will include information about the condition of the airways, including any abnormalities such as tumors, narrowing, or inflammation.
