1. To understand the technical concept of low dose digital tomosynthesis of the chest and its implementation 2. To understand which type of clinical application can be performed under digital tomosynthesis in chest section 3. To recognise the limitations and benefits of digital tomosynthesis of the chest in radiation exposure and image acquisition  

Our exhibit will be divided into 3 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      ① Neoplastic and noneoplastic lesions involving the airways           1. Lung cancer/ 2. Benign tumor/ 3. Evaluation of post-chemotherapy or operation status as a follow up tool / 4. Congenital anomaly of airways      ② Post-operative evaluation            1. Lobectomy, biolobectomy or pneumonectomy state/ 2. Evaluation of dead space/ 3. Localization of drain catheter       ③ Lung parenchymal lesion            1. Interstitial lung disease/  2. Emphysema, bullae/ 3. Nodule (solid, ground glass opacity nodule)/ 4. Consolidations (Tuberculosis, pneumonia, lung cancer, etc.)       ④ Chest wall and bone lesion       ⑤ Pleura            1. Pneumothorax with blebs 3. Benefits and limitation of tomosynthesis of the chest      1) Radiation exposure      2) Image acquisition
