[DS-bronchial arteriography; demonstration of metastasized lymphnodes of lung cancer--with special reference to the primary effect in BAI].
We analysed the 44 DS-Bronchial arteriograms (DSBAG) of lung cancer with an attention to the demonstration of metastasized mediastinal lymphnodes. The stain of lymphnode is well demonstrated in the pericarinal region, such as station #7, #R4 along the course of bronchial arteries. The swollen nodes with stains on DSBAG show the good reduction rates (37.5%) after BAI that is analogous to the primary lesion (38.9%), in contrast to the nodes without stains (24.5%). DSBAG with excellent contrast resolution contributes to the BAI as verifying the infused area.
