Whether or not such volumetric acquisitions are necessary for the majority of patients with suspected bronchiectasis remains open, although the ability of these datasets to provide coronal and other reformats appears to have diagnostic advantages155 (Fig. 21). 125 that correlated thin-section CT with planimetric measurements of inflation-fixed lungs.
