The two main sources of blood supply to the lungs and their supporting structures are the pulmonary and bronchial arteries. The bronchial arteries account for 1% of the cardiac output but can be recruited to provide additional systemic circulation to the lungs in various acquired and congenital thoracic disorders. An understanding of bronchial artery anatomy and function is important in the ide...

Objective. Damage of brain parenchyma in patients with primary diffuse neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) has been indicated by magnetization transfer imaging (MTI). However, the location of MTI abnormalities is unknown. This study was undertaken to assess the distribution of MTI abnormalities over gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) in SLE patients with a history of NP sy...
