Abstract

Objectives: The ratio of the diameter of pulmonary trunk (PT) to the diameter of the ascending aorta (AA) is used to evaluatecardiopulmonary diseases. Different values have been reported for the normal value of PT:AA ratio (to be less than 0.9,1 or 1.4). In this study, we aimed to investigate the diameters of the PT, right (RPA) and left pulmonary artery (LPA), AA,right (RMB) and left main bronchus LMB) using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and to determine referencevalues for PT:AA according to age and sex in normal healthy adults.Methods: Thoracic CT images of 200 individuals, (103 males, 97 females; age 18–89 years), without cardiopulmonary pathologyand surgery, were retrospectively evaluated using MDCT. Diameters of PT, RPA, LPA, AA were measured at the level of thepulmonary artery bifurcationand PT:AA ratio was calculated.Results: The mean diameters of PT, AA, RPA, LPA, RMB, LMB were found as 2.7±0.51 cm, 3.25±0.63 cm, 1.98±0.46 cm,1.81±0.43 cm, 1.73±0.35 cm, and 1.66±0.55 cm, respectively. The mean value of PT:AA ratio was 0.84±0.18 cm in males and0.86±0.13 cm in females. .Conclusion: Determining the normal values of related measurements will contribute to diagnosis and treatment of cardiopulmonarydiseases.
