1、Computed Tomography of The ChestDong YuchaoChanghai HospitalRsepiratory DepartmentThe Theory The C.T. scan machine takes images using x-rays. The patient lies on the C.T. table and is moved into the C.T. gantry. This part of the machine contains an x-ray tube and x-ray detectors that spin rapidly ar

2、ound the patient taking x-ray measurements. The measurements are fed to a specialized computer that assembles the measurement data into a series of C.T. pictures. The images are viewed as a series of standard 2D pictures. When required, the image data can be used to construct 3D pictures of the body

When the object of interest dose not completely fill a given layer, the CT number will partly reflect the attenuation of whatever extraneous matreial fills the rest volume. The chang

10、chusRight LungLeft LungRight Lung Segments The apical segment (or S1 segment ) is shaped like a truncated cone with its broadest base located superiorly filling the cupula of the lung. This segment thus extends over the pulmonary apex but does not extend inferiorly to the interlobar (minor fissure)

11、surface. The right middle lobe has two pulmonary segments which are situated side by side; the more lateral segment (S4), approximates the size of its adjacent neighbor , S5 ( medial segment). S5 near the right heart border medially, while S4 extends to and comprises a portion of the lateral border

12、of the right lung. Superiorly, both segments border the right minor fissure, and likewise, both abut the major fissure along their inferior margins. Both S4 and S5 touch the diaphragmatic surface at their anteroinferior edges. Anteriorly, both segments are adjacent to the anterior ribs ends of the 5

13、th, 6th, and 7th ribs. The right lower lobe is comprised of five pulmonary segments : the superior segment (S6) is situated immediately inferior to the posterior segment of the right upper lobe (S2) from which it is separated by the right major fissure. S6 is bordered by the major fissure anteriorly

14、 and comprises a sizeable portion of the posterior margin of the right lower lobe superiorly. It is this segment that surprisingly occupies a sizeable area behind the anterior segment (S3) of the RUL. The posterior basal segment (S10) as its name implies occupies the posterior most and inferior most

15、 portion of the right lower lobe. As such, it can be best remembered as the pulmonary segment which occupies most of the posterior costophrenic gutter. S10 also comprises a large portion of the posteromedial border of the right lower lobe and is the segment which is located immediately inferior to S

16、6. S10 characteristically tends to be the largest segment of the right lower lobe. Immediately anterior to S10 is the medial basal segment (S7) which typically is the smallest pulmonary segment of the lower lobe. Along its superior margin, S7 forms a portion of the major fissure medially, and its lo

17、cation can be best thought of as being immediately inferior to the right hilum, abutting the major fissure ventrally. Inferior to S7 is the anterior basal segment S8, which tends to be rather large in size. This segment along with S6 comprise a large portion of the major fissure surface, laterally.

18、S8 resides in a predominantly lateral location having a large peripheral surface. The lateral basal segment (S9), located between S8 and S10 is shaped like a triangle with its base directed laterally and as such forms a portion of the lateral surface of the right lower lobe. The pulmonary segments w

19、hich border or touch the right hemidiaphragm are S4, S5, S7, S8, S9, and S10. S8 and S10 have the largest surface areas abutting the diaphragm. Right Lung Bronchi The carina resides approximately at the level of the fifth thoracic vertebral body, and can be localized approximately at the same level

20、as the sternal notch. On CT, the carina visually appears as a vertical cleft, representing the junction of the superomedial surfaces of the two mainstem bronchi. The left mainstem bronchus (LMSB) measures approximately 4.5 cm in length compared to the right (RMSB) which measures approximately 2.5 cm

21、 in length. The shortness of the right mainstem bronchus is explained by the more proximal origin of the right upper lobe bronchus. Soon after its origin, the right mainstem bronchus (RMSB) gives rise to the right upper lobe bronchus which typically is directed superiorly and slightly laterally, hav

22、ing an almost 90o angle of incidence with the RMSB. The upper lobe bronchial trunk measures approximately 1 cm in length and approximately 1 cm in diameter. The trunk then gives rise to the segmental bronchi, B1, B2, and B3. The B1 bronchus supplies the apical segment of the right upper lobe and has

23、 a diameter ranging from 4 to 7 mm . On CT, this bronchus is typically imaged in cross section. The B2 bronchus, supplying the posterior segment has a more horizontal course relative to B1 but is nevertheless is readily visualized on CT. B3 supplies the anterior segment (S3) and like B2, has a gener

24、ally horizontal course but proceeds somewhat inferiorly from its origin. The right mainstem bronchus is considered to extend no farther inferiorly than the origin of the right upper lobe bronchus. The airway distal to the upper lobe bronchus is referred to as the bronchus intermedius (BI). BI genera

25、lly averages 2 cm in length and terminates at the point at the origin of the right middle lobe bronchus. The middle lobe bronchial trunk measures approximately 12 mm in length, and 8 mm in diameter. The origin of the middle lobe bronchus marks the point of origin of the right lower lobe bronchus. Fr

26、om its origin off the anterior aspect of the bronchus intermedius, the right middle lobe bronchial trunk continues slightly inferiorly for a short distance before giving rise to the B4 and B5 segmental bronchi. On CT, both of these bronchi are almost routinely seen since they run almost parallel wit

27、h the axial plane of section. B4 supplies the lateral segment while B5 supplies the medial segment (S5). The medial segmental bronchus has a slightly more oblique course than B4. In approximately 30-40% of the cases, B5 may be substantially larger than the lateral segmental bronchus. The superior se

28、gmental bronchus (B6), may arise at, or above the level as the origin of the right middle lobe bronchus but more frequently arises slightly more distally. Regardless, B6 is the first branch off the lower lobe bronchus, and has a predominantly horizontal course making it readily identifiable on CT. T

29、he airway distal to B6 is referred to as the basilar trunk. Because of their predominantly vertical orientation, the basilar segmental bronchi of the right lower lobe are routinely sectioned transversely on CT. It should be pointed out however, there is significant variation as to the points of orig

30、in of the basal segmental bronchi. The posterior and lateral basilar segmental bronchi typically arise from a common trunk. The medial basal bronchus (B7) has its origin inferior to B6. Oriented medially, B7 supplies the medial basal segment. Using their course as a guide, identification of the rema

31、ining three basilar bronchi is usually straightforward. Potentially arising from a common trunk, B8, B9, and B10, ultimately are seen coursing out to their respective segments. B9 + B10 is often referred to collectively as the terminal bronchus. B8 supplies the anterior basal segment; B9 courses lat

32、erally to supply the lateral basal segment; B10, directed predominantly posteriorly supplies the posterior basal segment. Left Lung Segments (S1+2) represents a combination of the two separate (apical and posterior) segments seen on the right upper lobe. It is referred to as the apical posterior seg

33、ment. Combined, S1+2 anatomically is similar in shape to the two segments on the right. The S3 or anterior segment also is similar to the right S3 segment, having a large area directed anteriorly. On the left there is no middle lobe; the anatomical equivalent region corresponding to the right middle

34、 lobe is known as the lingula, and like the RML, is also composed of two segments. Unlike their counterparts on the right however, the segments are stacked one on top of another, rather than side by side. The superior lingular segment (S4) is positioned immediately inferior to S3 and is directly abo

35、ve the inferior lingular segment (S5). Both lingular segments have their greatest area directed anteriorly and inferiorly. Additionally, S4 tends to have more area directed laterally while S5 has more area directed medially, abutting the mediastinum. Both segments extend anteroinferiorly to reach th

36、e ventral surface of the left hemidiaphragm, and hence border a large portion of the anteroinferior surface of the major fissure. The left lower lobe segmental architecture is similar to that of the right lower lobe, however because the anterior and medial basal segments share a common bronchial sup

37、ply, these two segments are characteristically combined, forming an anterior medial basal segment (S8). Therefore, the anterior segment is combined with the medial segment but may be denoted by SX7. The anterior medial basal segment is bordered anteriorly by the interlobar (major fissure), and abuts

38、 the visceral pleural surfaces of the two lingular segments located anterosuperiorly. Forming the remainder of the interlobar surface is the superior segment (S6). S6 is identical to its counterpart on the right. The lateral basal segment, S9 and the posterior basal segment, S10 also closely approxi

39、mate the same segments in the right lower lobe. S9 (lateral basal segment) has its broadest surface area exposed posterolaterally, and may be slightly larger than S9 on the right. S9, not in continuity with the major fissure, occupies much of the posterior costophrenic sulcus posterolaterally. Like

40、its contralateral counterpart, S10 (posterior basal segment) is quite large and occupies the posterior and inferior most portion of the right lower lobe occupying the posteromedial costophrenic gutter. Left Lung Bronchi The origin of the left upper lobe bronchus occurs at a lower level than the orig

41、in of the right upper lobe bronchus. The left upper lobe bronchial trunk gives rise to the upper lobe and lingular segmental bronchi. Measuring 9 mm in length and approximately 12 mm in diameter, the left upper lobe bronchial trunk characteristically appears short but has a large diameter. The left

42、upper lobe bronchial trunk divides giving rise to the ascending upper division (eventually giving rise to B1+2, and B3), and the descending lower division, which gives rise to the lingular segmental bronchi, B4 and B5. The course of B1+2 has vertically and horizontally oriented components as bronchi

43、al rami divide to supply the apical posterior segment. The B3 bronchus will have a more horizontal course, similar to that seen on the right side. B3 supplies the anterior segment of the left upper lobe. The lingular segmental bronchi are some of the most difficult segmental bronchi to visualize on CT. Their inco
