Abstract
Objective To explore the value of CT angiography in the location of bronchial artery before bronchial artery infusion(BAI) in lung cancer.Methods Fifteen patients with lung cancers including central type(13 cases) and peripheral type(2 cases) proved by pathology were analyzed prospectively.They were all examined with contrasted MSCT and the data was send to the workstation and reconstructed with multi-planar reformation(MPR), maximum intensity projection(MIP) and volume rendering(VR).Results All cases of central type were supplied by the bronchial artery and two were by the bronchial artery and intercostals artery.One case of peripheral lung cancer was supplied by the bronchial artery and the other could not find the determined supplying artery.Conclusion MSCT angiography showed great value in the locating of BA before the BAI in lung cancer.
