Update on interventional bronchoscopy for the thoracic radiologist.

abstract：:The availability of the less invasive techniques such as CT, MRI, and digital angiography require reexamination of the indications for conventional screen-film aortography. Because of poor image quality, IV digital subtraction angiography should be limited to congenital aortic disease and follow-up cases. Intraarteria...
