lüll Helical CT for the evaluation of acute pulmonary embolism Patel S; Kazerooni EAAJR Am J Roentgenol 2005[Jul]; 185 (1): 135-49OBJECTIVE: In this article, we review the current role of CT pulmonary angiography and indirect CT venography for the evaluation of pulmonary thromboembolic disease. CONCLUSION: With advances in MDCT technology, evaluation of pulmonary thromboembolic disease can now be performed with combined CT pulmonary angiography and CT venography as a "one-stop-shopping" test. CT pulmonary angiography is cost-effective, is accurate, has high interobserver agreement, and has an added advantage of detecting other life-threatening diseases in the chest that mimic pulmonary embolism.|*Tomography, Spiral Computed[MESH]|Acute Disease[MESH]|Adult[MESH]|Aged[MESH]|Angiography[MESH]|Cost-Benefit Analysis[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Lung/diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Observer Variation[MESH]|Phlebography[MESH]|Pulmonary Artery/diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Pulmonary Embolism/diagnosis/*diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Radiation Dosage[MESH]|Radionuclide Imaging[MESH]|Sensitivity and Specificity[MESH]|Ventilation-Perfusion Ratio[MESH] |
