Key Points

The research aims to illustrate various focal and diffuse tracheal abnormalities identified through computed tomography and evaluate their diagnostic accuracy.
Used computed tomography to evaluate tracheal abnormalities.
Showcased volumetric acquisitions and multiplanar 3D imaging techniques.
Compared CT findings to histopathologic results.
Highlighted a range of focal and diffuse tracheal abnormalities.
Demonstrated improved diagnostic accuracy over traditional radiographs.
Found correlations between CT findings and histopathologic diagnoses.

Abstract

Due to the nonspecific clinical presentation and limited evaluation by radiographs, diagnosis of tracheal abnormalities is often delayed. However, computed tomography, volumetric acquisitions, and multiplanar 3-dimensional formats have helped to improve assessment of tracheal abnormalities and their related parenchymal changes. The primary aim of this pictorial essay is to display the range of focal and diffuse tracheal abnormalities detectable via computed tomography and its diagnostic accuracy in comparison with histopathologic findings.
