The purpose of this study was to evaluate the spectrum of airway and vascular anomalies in agenesis of the right lung and to assess the role of imaging in defining the anatomy.
Symptomatic children with right lung agenesis often have anatomic distortion of the airway with vascular compression, and occasionally they have intrinsic airway stenosis. MR imaging most accurately defines the entire spectrum of airway and vascular anatomic abnormalities. Precise delineation of the anatomy is essential in patient management and surgical planning.
本研究旨在评估右肺缺如时气道和血管异常的范围，并评估影像学在明确解剖结构中的作用。
有症状的右肺缺如患儿常伴有气道解剖结构扭曲及血管受压，偶尔还存在气道内狭窄。磁共振成像（MR）最能准确地明确气道和血管解剖异常的全貌。精确描绘解剖结构对于患者管理和手术规划至关重要。
