Abstract

Contrast-enhanced three-dimensional MR angiography has evolved into a promising technique in the study of the pulmonary vasculature. Both congenital and acquired entities can be now morphologically demonstrated in a non-invasive manner obviating the need for conventional pulmonary angiography. Due to spatial resolution limitations, however, it is still premature to routinely apply the method in the detection of small subsegmental emboli, in cases of suspected pulmonary embolism, and further technical developments will be required. In this paper we present a spectrum of congenital and acquired disorders affecting the pulmonary vascular tree as demonstrated with contrast-enhanced three-dimensional MR angiography.
