Awareness of ECAC and its prevalence is limited and remains underdiagnosed. CT Chest can demonstrate specific features to support the diagnosis. The Radiologist can be the first clinician suspecting ECAC on common CT Chest and CTPA and should alert the treating physicians. Biphasic CT Chest in inspiration and expiration is an accurate non-invasive diagnostic test and a good alternative to Dynamic awake Bronchoscopy, provided a dedicated protocol is used and the patient gets appropriate guidance during scanning.
