INTRODUCTION Computerized decision support decreases the number of computed tomography pulmonary angiograms (CTPA) for pulmonary embolism (PE) ordered in emergency departments, but it is not always well accepted by emergency physicians. We studied a department-endorsed, evidence-based clinical protocol that included the PE rule-out criteria (PERC) rule, multi-modal education using principles of...
Iodine Perfusion Maps in Computed Tomographic Pulmonary Angiography: What Radiologists Need to Know?
Computed tomographic pulmonary angiography is the gold standard in diagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE). There is increasing use of dual energy CT (DECT) scanners in producing iodine perfusion maps. These maps assist in diagnosing a PE. However, many conditions can mimic perfusion defects on iodine maps including artefacts, pleural effusion, pulmonary artery compression, emphysema, vasculitis, pu...
We describe a 42-year-old man presenting to the emergency department with cardiogenic shock. He had a prior history of acute pulmonary embolism (PE), and had been on anticoagulation for 2 years. Although computed tomographic pulmonary angiography performed at the emergency department showed no change in the extent of PE and did not support a role of surgical treatment, pulmonary embolectomy was...
UNLABELLED One aim of the current study was to determine normalized dose data for maternal radiosensitive organs and embryo/fetus from 256-slice CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) performed on pregnant patients suspected of having pulmonary embolism. A second aim was to provide reliable maternal and fetal doses and associated radiation cancer risk estimates from 256-slice CTPA and lung perfusion s...
BACKGROUND Validated diagnostic algorithms in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism are often not used correctly or only benefit subgroups of patients, leading to overuse of computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA). The YEARS clinical decision rule that incorporates differential D-dimer cutoff values at presentation, has been developed to be fast, to be compatible with clinical pra...
Coronary computed tomographic angiography has become a reliable diagnostic tool in the evaluation of patients with chest pain. Studies have shown this modality to be accurate and safe when compared with conventional methods of assessing patients with chest pain. We review the recent developments with coronary computed tomographic angiography and devote particular attention toward its applicatio...
Congenital thoracic vascular anomalies include embryologic developmental disorders of the thoracic aorta, aortic arch branch arteries, pulmonary arteries, thoracic systemic veins, and pulmonary veins. Diagnostic evaluation of these anomalies in pediatric patients has evolved with innovations in diagnostic imaging technology. State-of-the-art magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, MR angiography multi...
