Experimental Pulmonary Fat Embolism: Computed Tomography and Pathologic Findings of the Sequential Changes
This study was done to demonstrate the computed tomography (CT) and pathologic findings of the sequential changes for experimental pulmonary fat embolism (PFE), and to correlate the CT and pathologic findings of rabbit lung. PFE was induced by an intravenous injection of 0.2 mL linoleic acid in 24 rabbits. The rabbits were divided into 4 groups of 6 rabbits each. CT scans were obtained sequenti...
متن کاملIncidental Findings in Patients Evaluated for Pulmonary Embolism Using Computed Tomography Angiography
Introduction: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common lethal disease that its clinical symptoms may be seen in many other diseases. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is a valuable diagnostic modality for detection of PE. In addition, it can accurately detect the other diseases with clinical symptoms similar to PE. The aim of this study is to evaluate the frequency of PE and nonemboli...
متن کاملFat Embolism Syndrome: Lung Computed Tomography Findings in 18 Patients.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the lung computed tomography (CT) findings in fat embolism (FE) syndrome. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 19 CT examinations of 18 patients with FE syndrome, diagnosed clinically using the Gurd and Wilson criteria. RESULT Fat embolism syndrome showed 3 patterns: negative examination, bilateral interstitial-alveolar involvement, and ad...
متن کاملPulmonary embolism: lung scan and computed tomography.
The diagnosis of pulmonary embolism may be confounded by a clinical presentation that is often subtle or atypical. Therefore pulmonary angiography, although invasive, has been widely used to prove pulmonary embolism. The aim of this review is to discuss the value of non-invasive techniques, such as lung scan and chest computed tomography scan, in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. Ventilation...
