Incidental 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 کاملComputer Aided Detection of Pulmonary Embolism with Tobogganing and Mutiple Instance Classification in CT Pulmonary Angiography
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a very serious condition causing sudden death in about one-third of the cases. Treatment with anti-clotting medications is highly effective but not without complications, while diagnosis has been missed in about 70% of the cases. A major clinical challenge, particularly in an Emergency Room, is to quickly and correctly diagnose patients with PE and then send them on t...

متن کاملA New Computer-Aided Detection System for Pulmonary Nodule in CT Scan Images of Cancerous Patients
Introduction: In the lung cancers, a computer-aided detection system that is capable of detecting very small glands in high volume of CT images is very useful.This study provided a novelsystem for detection of pulmonary nodules in CT image. Methods: In a case-control study, CT scans of the chest of 20 patients referred to Yazd Social Security Hospital were examined. In the two-dimensional and ...
