Reference Values for Normal Pulmonary Artery Dimensions by ...
2011年12月16日 · Main pulmonary artery diameter (mPA) and ratio of mPA to ascending aorta diameter (ratio PA) derived from chest CT are commonly reported in clinical practice. We determined the age- and sex-specific distribution and normal reference values for mPA and ratio PA by CT in an asymptomatic community-based population.

2021年5月20日 · A list of normal radiological reference values is as follows:
Pulmonary trunk | Radiology Reference Article - Radiopaedia.org
2024年6月19日 · The pulmonary trunk is approximately 50 mm long and 30 mm wide (most authors use 29 mm in males and 27 mm in females (axial width) as the cut-offs of normal 1,5). It arises as a direct superior continuation of the right ventricular outflow tract, separated by the pulmonary valve.
Pulmonary artery diameter: means and normal …
2021年11月17日 · Normal pulmonary artery (PA) diameter remains blurred and the definitions of PA aneurysm are heterogenous. We aimed to assess PA diameters, identify a threshold for normal diameters, define PA aneurysms, possible predictors of PA size and evaluate the correlation with mid-ascending aortic diameters.
Pulmonary artery - Wikipedia
The largest pulmonary artery is the main pulmonary artery or pulmonary trunk from the heart, and the smallest ones are the arterioles, which lead to the capillaries that surround the pulmonary alveoli.
Pulmonary artery diameters, cross sectional areas and area ...
We measured by cine cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) main and branch pulmonary artery diameters and cross sectional areas in diastole and systole in order to establish normal ranges and the effects on them of age, gender and body surface area (BSA).
Pulmonary Arteries: What They Are & What They Do
Beneath your aortic arch, your main pulmonary artery splits into the right pulmonary artery and left pulmonary artery. These arteries then travel to each of your lungs. How big are the pulmonary arteries? Your main pulmonary artery is usually around 5 centimeters (cm) long.
CT measurement of main pulmonary artery diameter - PubMed
Main pulmonary artery diameter in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension was significantly greater (p < 0.01) at 3.47 cm (SD = 0.33). A pulmonary artery diameter of 3.32 cm (main pulmonary artery diameter + 2 SD) had a 58% sensitivity and 95% specificity for the presence of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Reference values for normal pulmonary artery dimensions by ...
We determined the age- and sex-specific distribution and normal reference values for mPA and ratio PA by CT in an asymptomatic community-based population. Methods and results: In 3171 men and women (mean age, 51±10 years; 51% men) from the Framingham Heart Study, a noncontrast, ECG-gated, 8-slice cardiac multidetector CT was performed.
Pulmonary Arteries - Radiology Key
2019年8月7日 · Comparisons of pulmonary arterial size in physiologically normal patients and in those with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) resulted in suggested measurements for the upper limits of normal vessel diameters. These values are 28.6 mm for the main pulmonary artery, 28 mm for the left pulmonary artery, and 24.3 mm for the right pulmonary artery.
