| To assess the ability of selective bronchography to predict which patients with neoplastic postobstructive atelectasis will respond to interventional therapies directed at the reexpansion of the affected lung. |
| The procedure was conducted without general anesthesia or rigid bronchoscopy, bronchography, or radioscopy. |
| In some cases, complementary examinations such as bronchography, bronchoscopy, and cardiac catheterization may be indicated. |
| Bronchography is rarely performed, as it has been made obsolete with improvements in computed tomography and bronchoscopy. |
| Bronchiectases may be clearly visualised with bronchography and CT, but are often difficult to assess with radiography. |
