摘要

OBJECTIVE: We evaluated lung attenuation on inspiratory/expiratory computed tomography (CT) and spiral CT angiography (CTA) from patients with chronic pulmonary embolism and correlated the CT findings with pulmonary function test (PFT) results. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 9 patients with chronic embolism (mean age, 62.3 years; 5 women and 4 men). Paired inspiratory, expiratory CT and matching CTA images were reviewed, and lung attenuation was evaluated in each segment. Lower attenuation on inspiratory images and air trapping on expiratory images were subjectively assessed and correlated with PFT results. The relationship between the presence of clot and lung attenuation was evaluated. Nine age-matched normal subjects served as controls. RESULTS: Lower attenuation with mosaic perfusion and air trapping were identified in 6 and 9 patients, respectively (mean scores, 8.1 and 11.3, respectively). Air trapping was identified in 19 (42.2%) of 45 segments with lower attenuation on inspiratory images,but was also noted in 31 segments with normal inspiratory attenuation. Air trapping was associated with the presence of proximal arterial stenosis (P<0.01), and the area showed less contrast enhancement than the adjacent lung (P<0.05). Extent of air trapping correlated inversely with PFT parameters of peripheral airway obstruction such as maximum mid-expiratory flow rate (r=-0.86, P=0.003). On the other hand, extent of mosaic perfusion did not correlate with PFT. CONCLUSIONS: Air trapping is commonly seen in chronic embolism and is found in areas of relative hypoperfusion. The extent of air trapping correlates with parameters of peripheral airway obstruction.
