View larger version (117K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1A. —50-year-old man with acute myeloid leukemia and histologically proven invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in left upper lobe. Contrast-enhanced axial CT scan of chest obtained at lung window settings shows nodule with peripheral ground-glass opacity, representing halo sign.

Contrast-enhanced 30-mm coronal maximum-intensity-projection image with clear depiction of peripheral pulmonary arteries shows interruption of peripheral segmental pulmonary artery at level of halo surrounding nodule, corresponding to vascular occlusion (arrow).

Magnified contrast-enhanced 30-mm coronal maximum-intensity-projection image shows patent arteries inside focal consolidation in posterior basal segment of left lower lobe without any evidence of occluded vessels.

View larger version (147K): [in a new window]   Fig. 2D. —47-year-old man with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and histologically proven atypical Mycobacterium consolidation in left lower lobe. Magnified contrast-enhanced 30-mm coronal-oblique maximum-intensity-projection image confirms patent arteries throughout air-space consolidation in posterior basal segment of left lower lobe.

View larger version (117K): [in a new window]   Fig. 3A. —34-year-old man with cough and fever of unknown origin and biopsy-proven mediastinal diffuse large cell lymphoma extending into lung parenchyma. Contrast-enhanced axial CT scan of chest obtained at mediastinal settings shows large solid lesion in middle lobe in contact with pleural surface.

View larger version (101K): [in a new window]   Fig. 3B. —34-year-old man with cough and fever of unknown origin and biopsy-proven mediastinal diffuse large cell lymphoma extending into lung parenchyma. Contrast-enhanced 30-mm axial maximum-intensity-projection (MIP) image shows patent, tapering, and partially irregular vessels within solid parts of lesion.

Magnified contrast-enhanced 30-mm axial MIP image shows patent, tapering, and partially irregular vessels (arrowheads) within solid lesion. No vascular occlusion was detected in peripheral area of lesion.
