Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome in Lung Transplant Recipients: Can Thin-Section CT Findings Predict Disease before Its Clinical Appearance?

Abstract

The value of the finding of air trapping before the clinical appearance and during the early stages of BOS is lower than has been previously reported. When using the recently revised criteria for BOS, the role of thin-section CT as a screening test to evaluate patients with lung transplants appears to be limited.
