Computed tomography (CT) has provided a imaging modality by which the central pulmonary arteries can be studied noninvasively. CT provides cross-sectional images which accurately depict the pulmonary arteries and adjacent structures. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with its ability to image vessels without contrast media provides a potential truly noninvasive means of examining the pulmonary arteries. These modalities are well suited to evaluate pathology involving the central pulmonary arteries. Normal CT and MR anatomy is illustrated and discussed. The clinical presentation and appearance of pathological processes involving the pulmonary arteries are described.
计算机断层扫描（CT）提供了一种成像方式，通过它可以对中央肺动脉进行无创研究。CT提供横断面图像，能准确描绘肺动脉及相邻结构。磁共振（MR）成像具有无需造影剂即可对血管成像的能力，为检查肺动脉提供了一种潜在的真正无创方法。这些方式非常适合评估累及中央肺动脉的病变。文中展示并讨论了正常的CT和MR解剖结构。描述了累及肺动脉的病理过程的临床表现及影像表现。
