VB had a high sensitivity and accuracy (both 93%) for detection of central airway tumors and had a high sensitivity (90%) and accuracy (96%) for characterization of airway stenosis [26]. CT Neck and Chest With IV Contrast Combined neck and chest CT with IV contrast can be performed for pre- or posttreatment evaluation of tracheal stenosis, especially for diseases that can involve the subglottic trachea, such as diffuse tracheal diseases and suspected or known malignancies of the neck. Chest CT protocols to evaluate tracheal stenosis often prescribe z- axis coverage through the lower neck. CT Neck and Chest Without and With IV Contrast There is no relevant literature to support the use of neck and chest CT without and with IV contrast for pre- or posttreatment evaluation of tracheal stenosis. CT Neck and Chest Without IV Contrast Combined neck and chest CT without IV contrast can be performed for pre- or posttreatment evaluation of tracheal stenosis, especially for diseases that can involve the subglottic trachea, such as diffuse tracheal diseases and suspected or known malignancies of the neck. Chest CT protocols to evaluate tracheal stenosis often prescribe z- axis coverage through the lower neck. CT Neck With IV Contrast Neck CT with IV contrast may occasionally be performed as a targeted assessment of known lesions within the superior trachea, including primary neck malignancies with tracheal involvement. However, the limited z-axis coverage of neck CT risks exclusion of the full extent of tracheal disease. More commonly, neck CT may be performed as part of a combined neck and chest CT for pre- or posttreatment assessment of tracheal lesions and stenosis. CT Neck Without and With IV Contrast There is no relevant literature to support the use of neck CT without and with IV contrast for pre- or posttreatment evaluation of tracheal stenosis.
