“…Clinically, because CT scans are still suboptimal for identifying the existence and dynamics of SPS, these shunts are mainly identified by angiography. Recently, Qu et al reported that SPS could be evaluated by dual-input computed tomography perfusion (DI-CTP) in tuberculosis-related hemoptysis patients [ 28 ]. However, the radiation exposure rate of DI-CTP is higher than that of conventional CTA.…”

“…However, the radiation exposure rate of DI-CTP is higher than that of conventional CTA. The sensitivity and specificity of DI-CTP and angiography of BAE need to be further compared [ 28 ]. Therefore, the possible imaging findings associated with the presence of SPSs need to be further investigated.…”

“…Thus, it remains uncertain whether there is a causal relationship between tuberculosis and fistula formation. Whilst pulmonary tuberculosis may cause acquired bronchial artery-pulmonary artery fistula, it is a chronic inflammatory process, and in most adult patients, BPF develops years or even decades after the onset of tuberculosis (18). Thus, acquired BPF and pulmonary tuberculosis often occur several years apart.…”

“…Unfortunately, no continuous angiography studies have been performed to objectively determine the natural history of BPF. It is well known that DSA is the gold standard for the diagnosis of BPF, while Qu et al (18) found that DI-CTP scans have diagnostic value for detecting BPF in patients with tuberculosis and massive hemoptysis, providing an alternative diagnostic method. Hui et al (19) reported 31 cases in which bronchial artery-pulmonary artery malformations were found during the interventional operation of patients with patent ductus arteriosus.…”
