Abstract | Purpose: Semi-automated lobar segmentation tools enable an anatomical assessment of regional pulmonary perfusion with Dual-Energy CTA (DE-CTA). We aimed to quantify lobar pulmonary perfusion with DE-CTA, analyze the perfusion distribution among the pulmonary lobes in subjects without cardiopulmonary diseases and assess the correlation between lobar perfusion and regional endoluminal clots in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). Methods: We evaluated 151 consecutive subjects with suspected PE and without cardiopulmonary comorbidities. DE-CTA derived perfused blood volume (PBV) of each pulmonary lobe was measured applying a semi-automated lobar segmentation technique. In patients with PE, blood clot location was assessed, and CT-based vascular obstruction index of each lobe (CTOI Results: Among patients without PE (103/151, 68.2%), median lobar PBV was 13.7% (IQR 10.2-18.0%); the right middle lobe presented lower PBV when compared to all the other lobes ( Conclusion: Pulmonary perfusion was heterogeneously distributed along the pulmonary lobes in patients without cardiopulmonary diseases. In patients with PE, the lobes with high vascular obstruction score (CTOI |
