CT Diagnosis of Pulmonary Sequestration / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective　In order to improve diagnosis of the disease,CT appearances of pulmonary sequestration were studied.Methods　10 cases were proved by surgery and pathology.Lung inner type was in 9 and lung exterior type in 1.All cases were examined with plain CT scans and 5 of them were taken thin slice CT scan with contrast enhancement.Results　10 cases located in the posterior segment of right or left lower lobes,3 of them were cystic,3 were solid,4 were cystic and solid.The emphysema around the lesions were showed in 7 cases.Abnormal arterial supply could be seen in 7 cases.Conclusion　CT not only can demonstrate lesions and changes of tissue surrounding lesions,but also can manifest abnormal supplying blood vessels well.CT plays important role to diagnose pulmonary sequestration.
