The aim of this study is to investigate anatomical lung variations and vascular patterns using volumetric 3D computed tomography (CT) representations.
METHODS & RESULTS: We considered 24 major thoracic surgery performed in our ward. In these, we discovered some interesting anatomical variations of the main pulmonary fissures. These findings were not visible on the plain x-ray or during routine examination of a preoperative CT scan. After re-examination of 3D CT scan reconstruction the anatomical variations were detected.
General thoracic surgeons must familiarize themselves with anatomical variations in lungs. 3D images may aid the general thoracic surgeon in performing safer surgeries.
3D CT scan should be performed before surgery if possible.
本研究旨在利用容积三维计算机断层扫描（CT）图像研究肺部解剖变异和血管模式。
我们纳入了在我们病房进行的24例主要胸外科手术。在这些手术中，我们发现了一些主肺裂有趣的解剖变异。这些发现无法在普通X光片或术前CT扫描的常规检查中看到。在重新检查三维CT扫描重建后，检测到了解剖变异。
普通胸外科医生必须熟悉肺部的解剖变异。三维图像可能有助于普通胸外科医生进行更安全的手术。
如果可能，术前应进行三维CT扫描。
