Pulmonary digital subtraction angiography: a screening tool for vascular lung lesions.
Pulmonary digital subtraction angiography offers a further method of distinguishing vascular from avascular lesions in the lung. The computerised (digitised) recording allows versatility of data manipulation and post-processing and is of particular value in identifying a vascular component in complex lung masses. In the five cases described, digital subtraction angiography provided useful information; in three, it was the definitive diagnostic procedure.
