Figure 4

Six-year-old girl with left pulmonary artery sling. (a) CT coronal MinIP reconstruction demonstrated stenosis of the mild lower segment of the trachea and tracheal bronchus. (b) Three-dimensional turbo field echo (3D-TFE) coronal MinIP reconstruction demonstrated similar tracheobronchial tree findings. (c) Three-dimensional balanced TFE coronal MinIP reconstruction demonstrated similar findings, but the margin of the upper trachea was less clear than on 3D-TFE. (d) 3D-TFE axial MinIP reconstruction demonstrated that the left pulmonary artery arises from the right pulmonary artery and passes posteriorly between the trachea and esophagus.
