Objective: The aim of this study is to acquire pulmonary CT (Computed tomography)
angiographic data for the purpose of creating a three-dimensional reconstruction …

Purpose Anatomic variations of the pulmonary arterial tree can cause technical difficulties
during pulmonary lobectomy in general and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). Using …

PURPOSE: To analyze the influence of multi–detector row spiral computed tomography (CT)
on identification of peripheral pulmonary arteries. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Peripheral …

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 …

Results The most common division of the pulmonary artery is a collateral distribution but in
seven cases from 38 (18.4%) at right and one case from 38 (2.6%) at left the artery ended in …

Objectives General thoracic surgeons must be familiar with anatomical variations in the
pulmonary bronchi and vessels. We analyzed variations in the bronchovascular pattern of …

A broad spectrum of pulmonary arterial disorders can be diagnosed on computed
tomography (CT). Comprehensive evaluation of the pulmonary arteries requires careful …

BACKGROUND: Identification and appropriate treatment of the pulmonary artery (PA) is a
key to successful anatomic resection of the lung. Preoperative identification of branching …

Knowledge of the lung vessel morphology in healthy subjects is necessary to improve our
understanding about the functional network of the lung and to recognize pathologic …

BACKGROUND: This study aims to develop a computerized scheme that utilizes a
differential geometric approach to identify pulmonary vessels and then evaluate the …
