This view of the carina--the branching of the bronchi at the distal end of the trachea--illustrates how technology has enhanced our diagnostic abilities in pulmonary medicine (and, of course, other areas).
Compare this to the old standard, the chest xray. Can you see the carina, which is a major site of the development of lung cancer?
No? You ain't the only one!
Thank you, biomedical engineers! Tech geeks rule!
