1. To understand the technical concept of low dose digital tomosynthesis of the chest and its implementation 2. To understand which type of airway lesion can be evaluated under digital tomosynthesis 3. To recognize the limitations and benefits of digital tomosynthesis of the chest in radiation exposure and image acquisition  

Our exhibit will be divided into 5 sections and presented with illustration and relevant cases: 1. Background and physics of digital tomosynthesis of the chest 2. Clinical application of digital tomosynthesis in airway abnormalities    A. Neoplastic abnormalities        a. Lung cancer       b. Endobronchial metastasis       c. Evaluation as a follow up tool in post-chemotherapy or post-operation status    B. Non-neoplastic airway abnormalities       a. Post-operative change           1) Lobectomy, biolobectomy or pneumonectomy state           2) Evaluation of dead space           3) Localization of drain catheter localization      b. Congenital anomaly of airways – accessory bronchus   C. Ancillary findings       a. Lung parenchymal -Interstitial lung disease/ Emphysema, bullae/ Nodule (solid, ground glass opacity nodule)/ Consolidations (Tuberculosis, pneumonia, lung cancer, etc.)       b. Chest wall and pleura -Pneumothorax with blebs/ Bone lesion 3. Benefits and limitation of tomosynthesis of the chest
