Computed tomography (CT) was performed in 142 patients thought to have an endobronchial tumor based on clinical or radiologic grounds. In 121 patients an endobronchial mass was confirmed at bronchoscopy with biopsy or at surgery. The CT scans were evaluated independently by two experienced observers (A and B). For statistical purposes the result in each single bronchus from the level of the trachea to the segmental bronchi was considered separately. A total of 361 abnormal and 1,413 normal bronchi were confirmed with bronchoscopy or surgery. Observers A and B identified 100% and 99%, respectively, of the abnormal bronchi and 97% and 96%, respectively, of the normal bronchi on CT scans. For the standard CT examination (8-mm-thick sections) a sensitivity of 94% (observer A) or 91% (observer B) and a specificity of 99% (observers A and B) were found in the diagnosis of a normal or narrowed bronchial lumen. CT proved to be a reliable method for demonstrating tumor lesions of the bronchi.
