Chest, 09/23/08
Godoy MCB et al. - Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown etiology that usually affects the lungs. Although flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy with transbronchial lung biopsy (TBBx) has a high diagnostic yield in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis. In each case, while procedures were performed under direct CT guidance allowing precise confirmation of the tip of the biopsy catheter, it is anticipated that this technique will be primarily used as a guide to bronchoscopic biopsies without the need for direct CT guidance, thus increasing routine utilization of multidetector low-dose high-resolution CT to improve histologic diagnosis.
