Utility of multidetector row computed tomography in the management of hemoptysis: An experience from Upper Egypt

Conclusion Our results confirm that MDCT angiography is a useful method to identify and depict the bronchial arteries and to predict the presence of nonbronchial systemic vessels that supply a parenchymal lesion. MDCT angiography allows a rapid and detailed identification of abnormal vasculature and provides a precise road map which can be used to guide therapeutic arterial embolization.
