A study of 221 patients with bronchiectasis found new-onset NTMB pulmonary disease in 31 (14%) patients, which was associated with worsening of bronchiectasis, bronchiolitis, and other nodules on CT [55], and another study of 84 patients showed that more severe bronchiectasis and presence of cavities were more likely in NTMB pulmonary disease than in asymptomatic colonization [42]. Some studies have also found an association of CT severity scores and likelihood of NTMB treatment failure [56]. CT Neck and Chest With IV Contrast There is no relevant literature to support the use of neck and chest CT with IV contrast in the evaluation of bronchiectasis complications or treatment response. 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 in the evaluation of bronchiectasis complications or treatment response. CT Neck and Chest Without IV Contrast There is no relevant literature to support the use of neck and chest CT without IV contrast in the evaluation of bronchiectasis complications or treatment response. CT Neck With IV Contrast There is no relevant literature to support the use of neck CT with IV contrast in the evaluation of bronchiectasis complications or treatment response. CT Neck Without and With IV Contrast There is no relevant literature to support the use of neck CT without and with IV contrast in the evaluation of bronchiectasis complications or treatment response. CT Neck Without IV Contrast There is no relevant literature to support the use of neck CT without IV contrast in the evaluation of bronchiectasis complications or treatment response. CTA Chest With IV Contrast There is no relevant literature to support the use of chest CTA for assessment of other bronchiectasis complications or treatment response.
