Smartvest...Is it helpful in eliminating sputum?

I haven't had a radiologist refer to them either on a written report but my bronchiectasis specialist pointed a couple out to me. He showed me my scans a couple of weeks ago and pointed out 2 mucus plugs. They looked white, he said they may only be as much as a teaspoon each. So according to him they do show up but it may take a specialist to recognize them

@davis5663 This is such good info to have. I've heard others talk about mucous plugs and have always wondered how they knew they were plugs, not just the usual infected mucous coming up. I've envisioned them as plugs kinda like little corks that are kind of stuck on the lung wall....not sure if that is right or just my vivid imagination. Anyway...we do not all have specialists that share that kind of info so it is always good that you have!! Thanks.
