    Abstract: The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of 3-D virtual bronchoscopy (VB) with that of Fiber-optic (FB) bronchoscopy in patients who had symptoms of respiratory disorders. Thirty patients underwent VB examination. Thin section helical computerized tomography (CT) image were obtained. The volumetric data was downloaded to a works... Show More
