Fig. 1.—Schematic drawings of paddle-wheel principles. A, Drawing shows how paddle-
wheel slabs “pivot” on central hilar structure. All slabs will display this central structure from …

Traditionally, CT images of the lungs have been displayed as a sequence of contiguous,
parallel, planar cross sections in the axial plane. The volumetric CT data set can be used to …

PURPOSE: To compare vascular conspicuity and ability to connect pulmonary arterial
branches on pulmonary angiograms obtained with helical multi–detector row computed …

To characterize suspected vascular malformations, collimation, pitch, contrast injection rate,
and field of view should be tailored to the area of interest. For a screening chest CT scan, we …

Our objective was to analyze the peripheral pulmonary arteries using thin-collimation multi-
slice spiral CT. Twenty consecutive patients underwent enhanced-spiral multi-slice CT using …

A systematic evaluation of the fissures, segmental bronchi and arteries, bronchopulmonary
segments, and peripheral pulmonary parenchyma was made from computed tomographic …

The purpose of this study was to compare the resolution of spiral and conventional CT for
imaging the lungs and to optimize spiral CT techniques for imaging lung parenchyma. A line …

PURPOSE: To analyze the influence of collimation on identification of segmental and
subsegmental pulmonary arteries on spiral computed tomographic (CT) scans. MATERIAL …

The lung scan findings in 22 normal patients (9 men, 13 women; mean age 39.3 years)
obtained using a GE CT/T 8800 scanner have been analyzed. Central arteries and veins …

The authors adapted the transport system of a computed tomographic (CT) scanner with
continuous rotation capability to examine complete lung subvolumes during a single breath …
