BRONCOGRAPHY
Uses of bronchography

1. Diagnostic Imaging: Bronchography serves as a diagnostic imaging technique used to visualise the bronchial tree, including the bronchi and bronchioles, within the lungs. This aids in identifying abnormalities such as bronchial strictures, obstructions, or tumours.

2. Evaluation of Airway Disorders: Bronchography is valuable for evaluating various airway disorders, including bronchial stenosis, bronchiectasis, and bronchial wall thickening. It provides detailed images that help in diagnosing and characterising these conditions.

3. Assessment of Pulmonary Function: By visualising the bronchial tree, bronchography assists in assessing pulmonary function and identifying areas of ventilation or perfusion abnormalities. This information is crucial for understanding lung function and respiratory health.

4. Guidance for Bronchoscopic Procedures: Bronchography can guide bronchoscopic procedures by providing pre-procedural imaging of the airways. This helps bronchoscopists navigate through the bronchial tree more effectively and target specific areas for interventions such as biopsy or bronchial stent placement.

5. Treatment Planning: Bronchography aids in treatment planning by providing detailed anatomical information about the airways. This allows healthcare providers to develop tailored treatment strategies for patients with airway disorders, including surgical resection, bronchial dilation, or endobronchial therapy.

This includes conditions such as spinal cord compression, disc herniation, spinal tumours, spinal stenosis, and spinal trauma.

Assessing Nerve Root Compression: This procedure is particularly valuable for evaluating nerve root compression, often caused by conditions like herniated discs, spinal degeneration, or spinal fractures. It provides detailed imaging of the affected area, aiding accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Identifying Spinal Tumours: Myelography with Omnipaque helps identify spinal tumours by highlighting abnormal growths within or near the spinal canal. Early detection and precise localization of tumours are facilitated, enabling timely intervention and treatment.

Evaluating Spinal Trauma: In cases of spinal trauma, such as fractures or dislocations, myelography with Omnipaque provides crucial information about the extent and location of spinal cord injury. This assists healthcare providers in assessing trauma severity and determining appropriate management strategies.

Planning Surgical Procedures: Prior to spinal surgery, myelography with Omnipaque may be conducted to provide detailed preoperative imaging. Surgeons can visualise spine anatomy, identify abnormalities or obstacles, and plan the surgical approach accordingly. This leads to more precise and effective surgical outcomes.

Monitoring Treatment Progression: For patients undergoing treatment for spinal disorders, repeat myelography with Omnipaque can monitor condition progression over time. This aids in assessing treatment effectiveness and guiding adjustments to the treatment plan as needed.
