An X-ray examination of the lungs after an opaque substance has been put into the bronchi.
X-ray examination of the bronchial tree after it has been made visible by the injection of radio-opaque dye or the inhalation of radio-opaque particles, such as tantalum. It is used particularly in the diagnosis of bronchiectasis.
A radiographic procedure using a radio-opaque substance injected into the bronchial tree to show its outline. This is a simple procedure carried out under general anaesthesia and allows the accurate location of, for example, a lung abscess, bronchiectasis, or a tumour in the lung.
Bronchography is an X-ray procedure employed to visualize the bronchi, the primary air passages within the lungs. While it was previously utilized for diagnosing bronchiectasis, a condition characterized by the widening and distortion of the bronchi, this method has largely been supplanted by other imaging techniques, particularly CT scanning, as well as bronchoscopy.
