Non-CF bronchiectasis is a multifactorial disease involving various complex causes and a range of severity. The development and progression of bronchiectasis involve a vicious cycle of recurrent infection, inflammation, and structural damage to the airways. Due to the similarity of the symptoms with other pulmonary conditions, bronchiectasis is underdiagnosed. In addition, in some cases, patients may be asymptomatic but present with radiologic changes. The diagnosis of bronchiectasis now relies on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) evidence of dilated airways. To ensure that patients with bronchiectasis receive proper treatment early, it is crucial that radiologists can differentiate bronchiectasis patterns on HRCT to refine differential diagnosis and identify potential underlying etiologies.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, learners should be better able to:
- Describe the impact of untreated bronchiectasis on patient morbidity and healthcare utilization to underscore the need for timely intervention
- Accurately identify subtle imaging signs of bronchiectasis on high-resolution CT (HRCT) to facilitate early diagnosis and intervention
- Differentiate bronchiectasis patterns on HRCT to refine differential diagnosis and identify potential underlying etiologies
- Demonstrate effective communication strategies within the multidisciplinary team to ensure cohesive patient management and improved outcomes
Target Audience
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of radiologists and pulmonologists as well as all other physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, and healthcare providers involved in managing patients with non-CF bronchiectasis.
