What is bronchography?

A bronchography is a radiographic (x-ray) examination of the interior passageways of the lower respiratory tract. The structures of the lower respiratory tract, which include the larynx (voice box), trachea (windpipe), and bronchi (larger branching airways to the lungs), become visible on x-ray film after contrast dye is instilled through either a catheter or bronchoscope (narrow, flexible, lighted tube) into these areas. Contrast dye is a substance that causes a particular organ, tissue, or structure to be more visible on x-ray or other diagnostic images.The contrast dye is released as the catheter or bronchoscope is inserted through the nose or mouth and advanced down the throat into the trachea and

TYPES:

NORMAL BRONCHOGRAM

PA and latero-lateral bronchography: The right bronchial tree is filled with contrast material; no obstruction or filling defect can be detected.

BRONCHOGRAPHY & DEATH

• W. H. McAlister1

• (1) • Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, Washington University School

of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri, USA• Received: 16 November 1988  Accepted: 30 December 1988   • Abstract  A young woman died following bronchography. The

bilateral bronchogram done under general anesthesia without fluoroscopic control was associated with extensive small airway filling or “alveolarization” of the contrast medium. The oily Dionosil used had been heated in an autoclave. Experiments showed that the viscosity of oily Dionosil decreases with heating. The lowered viscosity could have contributed to the increased “alveolarization” of the contrast agent and death of the patient.
