Bronchokymography

Brief summary of bronchography Bronchography is a method of instrumental diagnosis of the lungs and bronchi using radiopaque substances and special medical devices - bronchographs. Modern devices are equipped with microcameras, with the help of which you can see in detail any pathologies of the respiratory tract and timely diagnose oncology.

A complete history of bronchography As diagnostic procedures in medicine become widespread, increased quality requirements are placed on the devices. To obtain a clear picture and sufficient information, the doctor needs a number of important parameters. The bronchograph machine has them.

- High resolution for each coordinate. Most often, X-ray scanning is introduced into medical practice. With this technology, the device is capable of providing a high-resolution image - up to 72 centimeters in the direction of one beam, and up to 65 centimeters in the vertical. These are large indicators for medical devices, which means that with such parameters the doctor will be able to examine any pathological changes in the smallest bronchi. - Increased accuracy of the resulting image. Detects defects in the bronchial wall, bronchi and nearby tissues; Thanks to this, the doctor can make a more accurate diagnosis and prescribe treatment. - Fast movement of image processing tools. The device is capable of producing up to 32 images of different sizes with different contrasts from one frame. In addition, depending on the patient’s speed, it can save frames at intervals of 0.33/0.5 seconds. Doctors have time to draw up a detailed report, give a prognosis for the disease and begin therapy. *The results of the bronchogram are presented on the monitor, where they are displayed in black and white, while the outline of each organ was highlighted. The images are recorded on disk or printed, after which they are used for further examination.* To perform bronchography, the thinnest end of the tube is inserted into the larynx through a bronchoscope under local anesthesia. At the same time, a contrast agent is injected using a special apparatus, which, when passing through the bronchi, appears on the monitor as a black and white picture with detailed details. In this way, the most accurate analysis of sections of the bronchi of any caliber is possible. The doctor uses individual fragments of the picture to create a complete picture - a diagram of the passage of contrast in the tissues of the lungs and bronchi. Then follow manipulations with the disease in the required place.
