متن کاملHelical CT Angiography of the Pulmonary Arteries: Changing the Diagnostic Approach to Patients With Suspected Pulmonary Embolism.
Helical (spiral) computed tomography (CT) enables angiogram like images of the pulmonary circulation to be acquired in a single breath hold and has revolutionized the diagnostic work up in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE). The sensitivity and specificity of CT exceed that of scintigraphy, and the accuracy is similar to that of pulmonary arteriography through the segmental arteria...
