Acute exacerbation of chronic interstitial pneumonia: high-resolution computed tomography and pathologic findings.

abstract：SUMMARY:To assess the radiologic findings of systemic arterial supply to the normal basal segments of the left lower lobe, chest radiographs and CT scans of all 11 patients were reviewed retrospectively by two chest radiologists. On posteroanterior chest radiographs (n = 11), the anomalous systemic artery arising from ...
