Suspected airway compression in symptomatic children with Lymphobronchial Tuberculosis (LBTB) can be diagnosed using modern computed tomography (CT) assisted by coronal minimum intensity projection (MinIP) reconstructions. The accuracy of plain radiographs in detecting airway compression in children with TB has not been evaluated against an imaging gold standard in a dedicated manner.

We aimed to compare frontal CXR against thick-slab angled coronal CT MinIP in identifying airway stenosis at ten specific sites and to determine the agreement between the modalities regarding the degree of stenosis. Read More
