1. Delineation of the anatomical considerations for pre-surgical planning.
2. Demonstration of the key imaging findings to aid early recognition of complications of lung transplantation in the acute post operative phase.
3. Depiction of system based approach to the broad spectrum of chronic post lung transplant complications.
1. Bronchial complications, anastomosis dehiscence and ischaemic airway
2. Vascular complications, arterial anastomosis stenosis
3. Infection, CMV and NTM
4. PTLD
5. Single lung transplant complications.
6. Acute and chronic rejection manifestations
7. Drug toxicity
