  • Title: Airway obstruction in pediatric patients. From croup to BOOP.
    Author: Rencken I, Patton WL, Brasch RC.
    Journal: Radiol Clin North Am; 1998 Jan; 36(1):175-87. PubMed ID: 9465874.
    Abstract:
    Causes for airways obstruction in infants and children vary considerably from those encountered in adult populations. The recent dissemination of rapid CT scan (helical and electron beam) has changed the diagnostic imaging approach in children with suspected airways obstruction. Fast CT scan not only detects the location of obstruction with high sensitivity but also frequently provides clues to specific pathologic diagnoses.
