Description

The Authors applied pulmonary perfusion imaging to 24 cases of polyaortitis. The result is: in 22 cases (91.66%) in which pulmonary artery is involved, there are certain characteristics in the area of the cold lesion. Involvement of pulmonary artery is related to the course of the disease, and is often accompanied by some other artery injuries. This shows that pulmonary perfusion imaging is an efficient way to detect injury of pulmonary vessels and is useful in finding out the patient's condition, clinical typing, diagnosis and treatment of the disease
