The purpose of the study was to study the pulmonary vessels in patients with pulmonary hypertension using Computed Tomography scan (CT) This is a prospective ,analytical study. this study was conducted at Khartoum Hospital (Sudan); in the period between November 2020 - January 2021 a sample of (100) patients with clinically diagnosed as pulmonary hypertension was enrolled, their mean ages were (47.92 ± 19.03) years, the sample included both genders, (42) patients were females while (58) were males and their ages were ranged from (3 - 80) years old. (CTPA) scans were acquired, all patients were examined by using multislice (CT) scanner, the data collected by special designed sheet from findings and analyzed statistically by using an (SPSS) Statistics software package.
The sample was directed to study the relationship of pulmonary hypertension with the presence of pulmonary vessels measurements; the patient's age and gender correlation with the pulmonary hypertension were investigated. The results find that the right and left main pulmonary arteries diameters changes were found to be significantly related to the presence of pulmonary hypertension, while there was no significant difference in the main pulmonary artery diameters measurements. The study concluded that CT for pulmonary artery plays an important role in the diagnostic evaluation of patients with pulmonary hypertension this due to it is easily accessible and excellent non-invasive method for the visualization and measurement of pulmonary artery and to know the possible cause of pulmonary hypertension.
