CT Analysis of Pulmonary Structures
Hideaki Otsuji11Medical Plaza Yakushi Nishinokyou, Japan
We must analyze four structures on chest CT: as the tracheobronchial tree, pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein and interlobar fissures. We can find enumeration of anatomical figures in various textbooks, but can seldom find how to analyze the anatomical structures. Inexperienced readers are usually unable to give anatomical nomenclature correctly on their own even after reading textbooks. I showed 3D movies using a PC to demonstrate the analytical process of examining pulmonary structures revealed by multislice CT, and presented an outline of key slices for pulmonary analysis.
key words: CT, Bronchus, Pulmonary artery, Pulmonary vein, Expert technique
