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.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the frequency of PE and nonemboli...
متن کاملPULMONARY VASCULATURE Computed tomographic pulmonary angiography and prognostic significance in patients with acute pulmonary embolism
Background: Patients with acute pulmonary embolism (APE) present with a broad spectrum of prognoses. Computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) has progressively been established as a first line test in the APE diagnostic algorithm, but estimation of short term prognosis by this method remains to be explored. Methods: Eighty two patients admitted with APE were divided into three groups a...

متن کاملcomputed tomography pulmonary angiography for evaluation of patients with suspected pulmonary embolism: use or overuse
conclusion there is still excessive unjustified concern of pte in less trained physicians leading to excessive diagnostic work-up. loyalty to the existing guideline for management of suspected pte in educational hospitals and supervision of attending physicians could prevent overuse of ctpa. results during a 6-month period, 82 patients who underwent ctpa were included. the prevalence of pte was...
