    FIGURE 1

    Axial inspiratory computed tomography (CT) scans at the level of the right inferior pulmonary vein, from three 54-year-old females, showing typical patterns. a) A healthy never-smoker. b) A smoker (note the subtle uniform diffuse increased opacity, which makes vessels more visible, and mild interlobular septal thickening, especially in middle lobe). c) A chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patient (note the diffusely distributed centrilobular emphysema, more in central part of the scans, with radiolucency and an irregular vascular pattern). Reproduced from [5] with permission from the publisher.

    FIGURE 2

    a) For segments in the middle and lower lobes centrilobular emphysema was found to be the predominant type on computed tomography. b) The corresponding colour-coded map of maximum peak enhancement of magnetic resonance perfusion showed heterogeneous perfusion with defects as the predominant pattern. Reproduced from [8] with permission from the publisher.

    FIGURE 3

    Images from a 62-year-old male patient presenting with a heterogeneous mass in the superior lobe of the right lung. a) Fusion of axial fat-saturated T1-weighted and diffusion-weighted sequences. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated that only the anteromedial portion (arrow) of the mass showed high signal intensity on the diffusion-weighted MRI sequence, suggesting that the rest of the mass may be composed of atelectasis, consolidation or necrosis (*). b) Computed tomography guided biopsy was directed to this area, and histopathological examination yielded a diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma. Reproduced from [16] with permission from the publisher.
