there was no ordering physician. It was a surprising find
in hospital after pneumonia.
The radiologist reports extensive BEs on both sides,
besides other problems.
Several sites offer radiological 2nd opinions
on Thorax-CT
(i.e. NDI in USA)
but I found none that are specific to BE and
available by telemedine

For the EMBARC-study they also list the
radiologic "Reiff-score" for radiological severity

Okay, so this was an "incidental finding" while you were hospitalized - this is a fairly common way for Bronchiectasis to be discovered - especially in conjunction with pneumonia. The hospital should have recommended a follow-up plan. I think @mariegrace is right - "extensive BE" requires a consult with a pulmonologist, not a radiological second opinion.
Have you contacted a pulmonologist yet?
