Upper lobe volume loss: divergent and parallel patterns of vascular reorientation

Radiographics. 1987 Sep;7(5):875-87. doi: 10.1148/radiographics.7.5.3454032.

Abstract

The authors present what they believe to be a previously unreported sign of marked upper lobe volume loss. Recognition of the finding may be helpful when other signs of volume loss are equivocal or absent.
