CT imaging

During the week in clinical, I had the opportunity to view the CT imaging of my pt with respiratory distress including croup and intermittent stridor during at rest. It was pretty cool to see the airway narrowing on the imaging, it went from an open airway to a thin pencil shape causing breathing issues for the patient. The nurse showed me both images of the lungs from the front and side, the side image provided a more clear view of the airway constriction which was cool.
