متن کاملSpiral computed tomography for the diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism.
The accuracy of computed tomography (CT) imaging for the diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) was reviewed. Single detector CT, based on pooled data, showed a sensitivity of 73% and multidetector CT, mostly 4-slice, showed a sensitivity of 83%. Respective specificities were 87% and 96%. Among patients with suspected PE evaluated with single slice CT, 20% of patients found to have venous t...

متن کاملNeural network in the clinical diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism.
The purpose of this investigation was to test the hypothesis that computer-based pattern recognition can accurately assess the likelihood of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) based on readily obtainable clinical characteristics. Data were obtained from 1,213 patients who participated in the collaborative study of the Prospective Investigation of Pulmonary Embolism Diagnosis (PIOPED). Characteristic...
