Could CT-scan avoid unnecessary flexible bronchoscopy in children with active pulmonary tuberculosis
BMJ - Archives of Diseases in Childhood, 10/29/09

The authors propose that FB in children with pulmonary tuberculosis might be limited to those who show tracheobronchial luminal narrowing on an initial CT scan.
