[The normal pulmonary angiogram].
The experience obtained from the study of 151 normal pulmonary angiograms is presented. It was found, that is possible to identify most if not all the segmental arteries in the anteroposterior view, but the lateral view let identify the segmental arteries that arise perpendicular to the frontalplane. The role of the byplane pulmonary angiography in order to identify the segmental pulmonary arteries is emphasized. Must of the normal variation patterns of the segmental pulmonary arteries were found and only two differents patterns were seen, type IV in the right upper lobe and probably type II for the left lower lobe. It was also found that the arterial patterns of the middle lobe and right lower lobe were observed in different percentages that would be expected.
