Abstract

The radiographic findings of normal and abnormal vascular structures can mimic soft-tissue masses and this can lead to inappropriate diagnostic procedures. An awareness of these anatomical features is required to avoid misinterpretation and then performing unnecessary additional studies. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to describe the radiologic findings of various anomalies of the pulmonary and systemic venous systems in the thorax.
