OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the value of incremental dynamic CT in the diagnosis of pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma (sclerotic hemangioma). METHODS: Thin-section CT at 2.0 mm thickness and 2.0 mm interval was performed before and after administration of contrast material in 20 cases of pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma. RESULTS: Pulmonary sclerosing hemangiomas were shown to be round or oval masses, with smooth margins, homogeneous parenchymal density, and occasional calcification. Homogeneous enhancement was evident in all cases, with maximum CT values ranging from 90 to 110 HU. CONCLUSION: Spiral dynamic CT is useful in the diagnosing of sclerosing hemangioma in the lungs.
