Many clinical applications of thoracic computed tomography (CT) require contrast medium to
enhance and delineate vascular, mediastinal, hilar, and cardiac structures, and differentiate …

OBJECTIVE. We sought to summarize systematically the published evidence describing the
accuracy of contrast-enhanced helical CT for diagnosing pulmonary embolism. MATERIALS …

The incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE), including lower extremity deep vein
thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) is increasing. The increase in suspicion for …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the inter-observer and intra-observer agreement of the
diagnosis of sub-segmental acute pulmonary embolism (PE) in an inpatient population …

CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) has become the de facto clinical “gold standard” for the
diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) and has replaced catheter pulmonary …

The combination of computed tomographic (CT) venography and pulmonary angiography
(CTVPA) was initially described in 1998 as a single comprehensive noninvasive imaging …

Objective: The detection rate of pulmonary emboli (PE) with computed tomography
angiography (CTA) using either a standard or a low-dose protocol, combining reduced …

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common condition with considerable morbidity and mortality
