CT findings in diseases associated with pulmonary hypertension: a current review

Claudia Grosse, Alexandra Grosse Medical University of ViennaAustria RadiographicsRadiographics 2010; 30: 1753-1777DOI: 10.1148/rg.307105710 AbstractPulmonary hypertension may primarily affect either the arterial (precapillary) or the venous (postcapillary) pulmonary circulation. Pulmonary arterial hypertension may be idiopathic or arise in association with chronic pulmonary thromboembolism; pulmonary embolism caused by tumor cells, parasitic material, or foreign material; parenchymal lung disease; […]
