Abstract
The use of Helical CT significantly improves image quality of examinations in a number of
clinical settings. It is particularly suited to the study of the tracheo-bronchial tree as a
result of new ways of image processing (developed by GEMS research) which can produce
virtual endoscopic images without the use of an endoscope. We present our initial
anatamo-radiological findings and their educational value as well as our thoughts on
potential future clinical applications.
