Abstract
High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is being increasingly used in the diagnostic work-up of paediatric patients with large and small airways disease due to its ability to provide valuable information far beyond that of other non-invasive investigations. This article highlights the key HRCT appearances of a range of conditions involving the airways in children, and where relevant, the role of HRCT in assessment of disease severity and monitoring of disease progression.
