Abstract:
Objective To establish the database of diameter and length of the pulmonary artery branches in different phase of cardiac cycle in healthy adult chest MDCT.Methods Normal enhanced chest MDCT with ECG-gating was selected and slab thin slice maximaun intensity projection(STS MIP) reconstruction were performed in different periods on ECG represent systole and diastole respectively.The diameter and length of pulmonary artery on the plane which showed the whole length of the aim artery were measured.Doppler UCG with ECG-gating was performed in healthy adults to measure the inner diameter of pulmonary trunk and right and left pulmonary artery in different phases of the cardiac cycle as contrast method.Results Normal enhanced chest MDCT with ECG-gating showed the diameter in systole period of the main pulmonary artery was larger than that in diastole period,while it went conversely to that of the proximal part of two pulmonary arteries,distal part of the right pulmonary artery,right media-lobe artery,both S10 segmental arteries and the difference were statistic significantly,only the length in diastole period of the right upper lobe artery was larger than that in systole period.The distance between the measured point of the main artery and the right one showed larger in diastole than systole period.On ECG-gating UCG,in addition to that the diameter change of the main pulmonary artery during the two periods were coincident with MDCT,the two pulmonary artery had no significant difference during the two periods.Conclusion It is necessary using branching geometry data of the main artery to segmental arteries in different period of the cardiac cycle with normal enhanced chest MDCT for flowing model building of pulmonary artery.
