Abstract

Hemodynamic information observed on serial images obtained with bolus tracking might help in diagnosing septal defects on CT. Our purpose was to qualitatively and quantitatively examine a new sign called gradual pulmonary artery enhancement. Gradual pulmonary artery enhancement is a newly recognized CT sign that may be helpful in evaluating septal defects.
