One strategy was compression ultrasonography, followed by anticoagulation in case of positive results (high probability ventilation-perfusion (VQ) scans) or by VQ scan or spiral computed tomography (CT) in case of negative results. Low probability VQ scans resulted in no treatment, whereas high probability VQ scans resulted in anticoagulation. Intermediate tests were followed by a second test (...

The authors report the case of a patient victim of gunshots, with a very rare complication: venous bullet embolism from the left external iliac vein to the lingular segment of the left pulmonary artery. Diagnosis is made with whole-body radiography or computed tomography. Digital angiography is reserved for supplementary diagnosis or to be used as a therapeutic procedure.

This prospective study was designed to assess CT performance by using the task-based image quality assessment and identify influence of iterative reconstruction (IR) algorithm, tube potential pitch factor selection on dose during Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA) examination. An phantom, Catphan-600 utilized in this for assessing CTPA protocols under 128-multislice scanner (Phili...

Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a critical condition with various recognized risk factors. This study investigates these factors in regional Australian population. Aims: The primary aim to examine the significance of traditional clinical decision request computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) scan for suspected PE within this population and assess association between timing CTP...

SARS-CoV-2 is a virus of the coronavidae family that causes COVID-19, disease emerged in 2019 and has already gone around world, causing World Health Organization to decree pandemic state 2020. One consequences COVID-19 development Pulmonary Thromboembolism (PE), which one or more pulmonary arteries are blocked by blood clot. In this association with PE caused pro-inflammatory hypercoagulant de...

A 19-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital with dyspnea, chest pain, and shortness of breath. A chest radiograph showed mild cardiomegaly. Echocardiography revealed an extra chamber in the heart. To evaluate this abnormality, ECG-gated 16-detector-row computed tomography angiography was performed. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), showing cor triatriatum with total anomal...
