Tree-in-bud sign



In radiology, tree-in-bud sign is a finding on computed tomography that indicates some degree of airway plugging.[1]

It is associated with infection that has spread endobronchially and is classically associated with tuberculosis and bronchopneumonia. It is often seen in bronchiectasis and cystic fibrosis.
