à Pulmonary hypertension is hemodynamically defined as a mean pulmonary artery pressure greater than 25 mm Hg at rest or greater than 30 mm Hg during exercise, with increased pulmonary vascular resistance
à A CT-determined mean pulmonary artery diameter of greater than or equal to 29 mm demonstrates 87% sensitivity and 89% specificity for predicting pulmonary hypertension. Specificity climbs to 100% when a mean pulmonary artery diameter of greater than or equal to 29 mm is accompanied by findings of a segmental artery-to-bronchus ratio greater than 1:1 in three of four pulmonary lobes.

à The histologic correlates of pleural-based opacities are most often scars, pleural plaques, or small postinfarction fibrotic lesions. The triangular or ovoid nodules adjacent to the fissures may represent intrapulmonary lymph nodes, which may rapidly grow or decrease in size. The juxtavascular nodules may represent small lymph nodes or small branching vessels, while bronchiolitis or a small bronchiectasis may also appear as a vessel- or fissure-attached nodule.
