  ABSTRACT: Purpose: Dual-energy CT (DECT) can be used for quantification of lung perfusion blood volume (PBV), allowing objective evaluation. However, no reports have investigated pulmonary perfusion correlating with pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) in patients with chronic pulmonary diseases. The purpose was to evaluate automated quantification of the lung PBV using dual-energy CT, and its correlation with PAP. Methods: 274 patients who underwent echocardiography within two weeks also underwent CT. The population was divided into high (≥40 mmHg)and low (
