Thoracic Imaging: Airways

Bronchiectasis occurs as a result of 3 etiologies:

1) Bronchial {{c1::wall injury}}, typically from {{c1::infection}} or {{c1::inflammation}}

2) Bronchial {{c2::lumen obstruction}}

3) Traction from adjacent {{c3::fibrosis}}

These result in bronchiectasis via mucus {{c4::plugging}}, superimposed {{c4::bacterial colonization}}, and {{c4::inflammatory}} response.
