Abstract
The purpose of this report is to describe an original 3D technique that permits
bronchoscopic perspective simulations of the tracheobronchial tree on an affordable
workstation. Software based on surface shading was developed to permit navigation
through the central airways using spiral CT data. Multiplanar reformations are displayed
simultaneously with the virtual bronchoscopy simulations to give information about tissues
surrounding the airways. Two clinical examples are reported to illustrate the value of this
advanced computer technique.
