Pulmonary vascular imaging.
This article is a pictorial review of the major abnormalities of the pulmonary vessels in children. Vascular, including lymphatic malformations have been covered in previous issues of this journal and so will not be described in detail. Many pulmonary vascular abnormalities are associated with complex intracardiac disorders. This article, however, focuses on extra cardiac abnormalities, particularly those causing pulmonary parenchymal problems.
