In December I had to have a CT Scan of my lungs when I was admitted into hospital this week my consultant looked at the results of my scan and told me that I would need to have a Bronoscopy because he wants to have a closer detailed look at my lungs.
I am left wondering what my CT scan showed?
Do you think that this is something I should be concerned about or is it normal to have a Bronoscopy after having a CT scan?
Hi asthmagirl,
My asthma (or whatever it is lol) is nowhere as severe as yours but I had a bronchoscopy after a CT scan.
Hi Asthmagirl,
I have several done every year together with CT scans.
A bronchoscopy can give the consultant a much better idea of how the air ways look and react and are generally working. It can also highlight any other breathing related issues that can't be seen on a CT scan. They can also do a lavage wash, take samples for infection etc and even suck out any lingering mucus!
Try not to worry sounds like you have a very thorough and on the ball consultant.
chronic infections and trying to be a primary school teacher
How would a rational person deal with this? What would be their thought process?
Respiratory Consultant wants me to come off asthma meds!
Sinus Surgery is it worth it?
A lung irritant in schools?
