APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Pulmonary veins: Your pulmonary veins do the opposite job of your pulmonary arteries. They collect oxygen-rich blood and carry it from your lungs to your heart. This blood empties into your heart’s top left chamber (left atrium).

Detailed explanation-2: -Pulmonary vein is the only vein that carries oxygenated blood as they carry blood from lungs to the heart and, pulmonary artery is the only artery that carry deoxygenated blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from lungs to the left atrium of the heart. The anatomy of the pulmonary veins is variable with some anatomic variants. In clinical practice the difference between the normal anatomy of pulmonary veins with its variants and abnormal anatomy is very important for clinicians.
