Pulmonary Blebs

Pulmonary Blebs

Key Points

  1. Chest X-ray/CT Scan: These are the primary tools used to visualize the small, air-filled sacs (blebs) on the surface of the lungs.
  2. MRI Scan: In some cases, an MRI may provide more detailed imaging of pulmonary blebs.
  3. Thoracoscopy: A minimally invasive surgical procedure may be used for both diagnosis and treatment if blebs are suspected of causing recurrent pneumothorax (collapsed lung).
