RESUMEN
Objective To study the applied value of multi-slice spiral CT(MSCT)in pulmonary lesions.Methods 68 cases with massive hemoptysis caused by lung tumor or other reasons underwent 16-slice spiral CT scan including plain and contrast-enhanced scan.Volume reconstruction(VR),multiplanar reconstruction(MPR),maximum intensity projection(MIP)and curved planar reconstruction(CPR)were performed using original images.The origin,number and shape of vessels feeding lesions were observed.Results Among 68 cases(two failed),the blood supply of pulmonary lesions was from bronchial artery in 60 cases,from the intercostals artery in 8 cases,from the internal thoracic artery in 5 cases,from the left subclavian artery in 6 cases,from the right inferoir phrenic artery in 5 cases,from the celiac trunk artery in 3 case and from the right renal artery in 1 case.The blood supply was from single artery in 50 cases,double arteriae in 10 cases and three arteriae in 6 cases.The supply arteriae were vascular plexus in 55 cases,meandering in 8 cases,net in 2 cases and aneurysm formation in one cases.Conclusion MSCT can clearly display the vessels feeding pulmonary lesions.
