Multidetector CT angiography accurately diagnoses pulmonary sequestration by visualizing arterial supply, venous drainage, and lung changes. This imaging technique is crucial for effective preoperative assessment of this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Thoracic Imaging
  • Congenital Pulmonary Abnormalities

Background:

  • Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital lung malformation.
  • Accurate diagnosis and preoperative assessment are vital for surgical planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the utility of multidetector CT angiography (MDCT angiography) in diagnosing and planning surgery for pulmonary sequestration.
  • To correlate CT angiography findings with surgical or angiographic outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Eight patients with suspected pulmonary sequestration underwent MDCT angiography (4 or 16 slice).
  • Multiplanar reconstructions (MPVR), maximum intensity projections (MIP), and 3D volume rendering were utilized.
  • Axial images were reviewed at soft tissue and lung windows for parenchymal evaluation.

Main Results:

  • CT angiography identified eight pulmonary sequestrations (five left, three right), predominantly in basal segments.
  • Aberrant systemic arterial supply was confirmed in all cases from various aortic origins.
  • Surgical or embolization correlation confirmed the CT angiography findings in all evaluated patients.

Conclusions:

  • MDCT angiography effectively visualizes the arterial supply, venous drainage, and parenchymal abnormalities of pulmonary sequestration.
  • It serves as the preferred imaging modality for diagnosis and preoperative assessment of pulmonary sequestration.
