The first-choice imaging test for visualization of thromboemboli in the pulmonary vasculature
in patients with suspected acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is multidetector computed …

This article reviews the current diagnostic strategies for patients with suspected pulmonary
embolism (PE) focusing on the current first choice imaging modality, computed tomographic …

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common, ubiquitous, and potentially lethal disease. As
symptoms and clinical findings are notoriously nonspecific, diagnostic imaging is essential …

Purpose To compare the diagnostic approach of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) with
photon-counting-detector CT (PCD-CT) and energy-integrating-detector CT (EID-CT) …

Modern non invasive diagnostic strategies for pulmonary embolism (PE) rely on the
sequential use of clinical probability assessment, D-dimer measurement and thoracic …

Background Standard ventilation and perfusion (V˙/Q˙) scintigraphy uses planar images for
the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE). To evaluate whether tomographic imaging …

Pulmonary embolism represents a major public healthcare problem and it also imposes
frequent clinical diagnostic issues. Despite the availability of the D-dimer tests, imaging …

Computed tomographic pulmonary angiography has become the standard of care for the
evaluation of patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE). In addition to the direct …

Angiography (mostly computed tomography, but in some cases, conventional) is still the
gold diagnostic standard in the clinical diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) …

Hess et al1 believe that ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy with single-photon emission
computed tomography and lowdose X-ray computed tomography (V/Q SPECT/CT) should …
