Abstract
Normal computed tomography (CT) examinations (30) of the [human] thorax were reviewed to analyze the anatomy of the pulmonary fissures. The major and minor fissures are constantly visible, and their orientation with respect to the scanning plane appears either as a narrow fibrous line or as a hypovascular band. The major and minor fissures are constantly in close contact with the pars interlobaris of the pulmonary arteries.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
