Abstract:Objectives: The ratio of the diameter of pulmonary trunk (PT) to the diameter of the ascending aorta (AA) is used to evaluate cardiopulmonary diseases. Different values have been reported for the normal value of PT:AA ratio (to be less than 0.9, 1 or 1.4). In this study, we aimed to investigate the diameters of the PT, right (RPA) and left pulmonary artery (LPA), AA, right (RMB) and left main bronchus LMB) using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and to determine reference values for PT:AA according to a… Show more
