Abstract
Pleural fissures can be identified as avascular planes within the pulmonary parenchyma on [human] CT [computed tomographic] scans. A retrospective analysis of 23 consecutive scans was conducted to consider identification of fissures. On 21% of the axial images, a ground glass band was identified within the avascular plane, probably due to partial volume averaging of the pleural fissure with the adjacent lung. Pleural fissures could be identified in 84% of cases.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
