There is still considerable debate about the optimal diagnostic imaging modality for acute
pulmonary embolism. If imaging is deemed necessary from an initial clinical evaluation such …

The diagnostic work-up of pulmonary embolism has been recently modified by the
introduction of spiral computed tomography (CT), which enables noninvasive depiction of …

The introduction of spiral CT has recently modified the diagnostic work-up of pulmonary
embolism, because it is possible to depict noninvasively endoluminal clots in second-to …

For several decades, ventilation–perfusion (V/Q) scintigraphy has been the main imaging
modality used in the evaluation of patients with suspected acute pulmonary embolism …

Spiral computed tomography (CT) has shown promising results in the detection of acute
pulmonary embolism. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the severity of acute …

The use of spiral computed tomography (CT) for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism has
been compared to angiography, the current gold standard. However, the accuracy of …

Background: Spiral computed tomography (CT) has emerged as a potentially conclusive
diagnostic test to exclude pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with non-high probability …

BACKGROUND: Helical computed tomography (CT) has been proposed as a first-line test
for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. How the test affects the diagnostic evaluation of …

Background We aimed to evaluate the feasibility and performance of a computer-aided
detection (CAD) tool for automated detection of segmental and subsegmental pulmonary …

Background: There is no noninvasive method to rule out pulmonary embolism when the
clinical suspicion for pulmonary embolism is high. We did a prospective observational study …
