Abstract
Airway diseases are broadly classified into those affecting the trachea, the bronchi, and the bronchioles. This chapter will discuss imaging of diseases affecting the airway with relevance to clinical care providers. Elaborate tables and figures in this chapter provide a simplistic overview of approach to imaging the trachea, bronchi, and the bronchioles.
