Figure 2. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) findings and the prediction of non-bronchial systemic arterial supply. (A) Contrast-enhanced CT shows pleural thickening and dilated vascular structures, indicating non-bronchial arterial supply in the left lung upper lobe in case 1 (triangle). (B) Contrast-enhanced CT shows pleural thickening and dilated vascular structures, indicating non-bronchial arterial supply in the right lung upper lobe in case 2 (triangle). (C) Contrast-enhanced CT shows pleural thickening and dilated vascular structures, indicating non-bronchial arterial supply in the right lung upper lobe in case 3 (triangle). (D) Contrast-enhanced CT shows dilated and tortuous vascular structures, indicating non-bronchial arterial supply in the left lung upper lobe in case 4 (triangle). (E) Contrast-enhanced CT shows dilated and tortuous vascular structures, indicating non-bronchial arterial supply in the right lung middle lobe in case 5 (triangle). (F) Contrast-enhanced CT shows dilated and tortuous vascular structures within hypertrophic extrapleural fat adjacent to the medial side of the left lung upper lobe, indicating non-bronchial arterial supply in case 6 (triangle). ICA – intercostal artery; ITA – internal thoracic artery; LTA – lateral thoracic artery; TCA – thyroid carotid artery.
