Abstract

Abnormalities in the anatomy of pulmonary arteries may have heritable or environmental causes and involve a reduction or enlargement in transverse diameters of the blood vessels eg, congenital and developmental disorders, acquired intrinsic causes, extrinsic compression, and constriction. Pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary artery aneurysm and pseudoaneurysm, and idiopathic dilatation can also increase the diameter of a pulmonary artery. Multi-detector computed tomography (CT) is useful to evaluate each pulmonary artery and to diagnose the conditions that alter the diameter of the pulmonary artery. It is important to be familiar with the CT features of a variety of disorders to allow for accurate diagnoses and appropriate therapeutic management.

많은 선천적 또는 후천적인 질환들이 폐동맥의 직경을 증가시키거나 또는 감소시킬 수 있다. 선천적 또는 발달장애, 후천적인 내적요인, 외부의 압력과 폐동맥의 수축 등이 폐동맥의 직경을 감소시킨다. 폐동맥고혈압, 폐동맥류 또는 가성동맥류와 폐동맥의 특발성 확장은 폐동맥의 직경을 증가시킨다. 전산화단층촬영은 폐동맥을 평가하고 폐동맥의 직경을 변화시키는 질환을 진단하는 데 있어 유용하다. 이러한 이유로 적절한 진단과 치료를 위해서는 다양한 질환들의 전산화단층촬영 소견을 아는것이 중요하다.
