| echinococcosis, pulmonary | Helminth infection of the lung caused by echinococcus granulosus or echinococcus multilocularis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| total anomalous pulmonary venous return | <radiology> (TAPVR) admixture lesion: cyanosis, increased pulmonary blood flow, must have L to R shunt for survival (e.g., atrial septal defect) associated with, atrial septal defect, asplenia (12 Dec 1998) |
| total or partial anomalous pulmonary venous connections | Connections in which some or all of the pulmonary veins connect to the right atrium or one of its tributaries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Trusler's rule for pulmonary artery banding | A method that gives guidance as to the correct tightness of the band; the degree of banding for a complex congenital cardiac anomaly with bidirectional shunting less than that for simple ones. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tuberculosis, pulmonary | Tuberculosis of the lungs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| juxta-oesophageal pulmonary lymph nodes | Several nodes of the posterior mediastinal group located along either side of the oesophagus; they receive lymph from both the oesophagus and the lungs. Synonym: nodi lymphatici juxta-oesophageales pulmonales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left inferior pulmonary vein | <anatomy, vein> The vein returning oxygenated blood from the inferior lobe of the left lung to the left atrium. Synonym: vena pulmonalis inferior sinistra. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left pulmonary artery | <anatomy, artery> The shorter of the two terminal branches of the pulmonary trunk, it pierces the pericardium to enter the hilum of the left lung. Its branches accompany the segmental and subsegmental bronchi. Branches to the superior lobe (rami lobi superioris ) are apical (ramus apicalis ), anterior ascending (ramus anterior ascendens ), anterior descending (ramus anterior descendens ), posterior (ramus posterior ), and lingular (ramus lingularis ), the last having inferior and superior branches (rami lingulares inferior et superior ). Branches to the inferior lobe (rami lobi inferioris ) are the superior branch of the inferior lobe (ramus superior lobi inferior ) and the medial (medialis), anterior, lateral (lateralis) and posterior basal branches (rami basalis ). Synonym: arteria pulmonalis sinistra. (05 Mar 2000) |

| pulmonary sequestration |
loss of connection of lung tissue, and sometimes bronchi, with the bronchial tree and with the pulmonary veins, the tissue receiving its arterial supply from the systemic circulation. The mass may be completely separated anatomically and physiologically from normally connected lung (extralobar pulmonary s.) or be in anatomical contiguity with and partly surrounded by normal lung (intralobar pulmonary s.). Called also accessory lung and bronchopulmonary s.

| pulmonary function test |
Spirometry, the most common of the Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs), is the measurement of lung function, specifically the measurement of the amount (volume) and speed (flow) of air that can be inhaled and exhaled. Spirometry is an important tool used for assessing lung diseases such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, and COPD. ...
