Virtual bronchoscopy: non-invasive CT scanning technique for screening patients with possible tracheobronchial disease or obstruction
Mundy L, Merlin T
Record ID 32006000573
English
Authors' results and conclusions:
Based on patient preferences for a less invasive mode of thoracic investigation, the comparable specificity and sensitivity of the procedure, and the availability of computer tomography (CT) technology in Australia it is likely that virtual bronchoscopy will diffuse rapidly into the Australian health system. The evidence-base is currently limited.
Authors' recommendations:
HealthPACT recommends that a Horizon Scanning report be conducted.
