Direct coronal plane CT demonstration of the tracheobronchial and pulmonary anatomy is possible. Large gantry openings easily accommodate patients in a sitting or semiprone position without the need for attaching a seat device to the table top. A technique is described for examining the patient using Elscint 1800 and 2400 CT units, with a net gantry angulation of 60-80 degrees to the chest, with resulting good quality direct coronal CT imaging. Our experience includes more than a hundred pediatric patients that have been examined, displaying diverse tracheobronchial, pulmonary and thoraco-abdominal lesions. The technique is safe and comfortable to the patients and is easy to perform.
