Overuse and underuse of pulmonary CT angiography in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism
Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the utilization and diagnostic yields of CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) using the Revised Geneva score and Wells’ criteria, in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE). Methods: One hundred and twelve adult patients underwent CTPA for suspected PE were participated in this study. The outcome was positive or neg...
متن کاملComputerized tomographic pulmonary angiography versus ventilation perfusion lung scanning for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to focus on recent research that has addressed the relative merits of computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) and ventilation perfusion (V/Q) scanning for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. RECENT FINDINGS Computed tomographic pulmonary angiography is the most sensitive test for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism and its use has bee...
متن کاملComputed tomographic pulmonary angiography vs ventilation-perfusion lung scanning in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism: a randomized controlled trial.
CONTEXT Ventilation-perfusion (V(dot)Q(dot) lung scanning and computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) are widely used imaging procedures for the evaluation of patients with suspected pulmonary embolism. Ventilation-perfusion scanning has been largely replaced by CTPA in many centers despite limited comparative formal evaluations and concerns about CTPA's low sensitivity (ie, chance of...
متن کاملThe complementary roles of chest radiography, lung scanning, and selective pulmonary angiography in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism.
In patients in whom there is clinical suspicion of pulmonary thromboembolic disease, because of the risk of inadequate treatment, definitive radiologic evaluation should be carried out. Of the diagnostic procedures available, conventional pulmonary angiography has the greatest sensitivity and specificity in the detection of pulmonary embolism or other pulmonary vascular disease. Pulmonary angio...
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...
