“…Hence, d-dimer analysis might contribute to a pre CTPA differentiation between peripheral and more central APE. This possibility should not be ignored in light of studies suggesting that the introduction of CTPA has led to overdiagnosis of pulmonary embolism (19,20). Furthermore the accuracy of CTPA for peripheral pulmonary embolisms is not excellent.…”

“…Le nombre total d'embolies pulmonaires diagnostiquées a augmenté avec l'utilisation plus répandue du scanner [7,8]. Dans une cohorte de 47 601 patients avec cancer, le nombre de scanners thoraciques effectués en postopératoire a augmenté de 7 fois entre 2000 et 2005, avec une augmentation simultanée du nombre total d'embolies pulmonaires diagnostiquées (de 2,6 % à 9,3 %, p < 0,001) [9].…”

“…Men teknologien utfordrer også på andre måter, for eksempel ved at den gir helsepersonell og pasienter nye måter å forstå og håndtere sykdommer på. Økende diagnostisk følsomhet, og nye undersøkelsesmetoder gjør at flere mennesker er syke (Black & Welch 1993;Fischer &Welch 1999;Burge et al 2008). Tilsvarende gjør nye terapeutiske muligheter at stadig flere tilstander faller inn under helsevesenets virkefelt.…”

“…Ett eksempel på dette er CT-diagnostikk av pulmonal emboli (PE) som på ti år doblet antall som har fått diagnosen PE, uten at flere har blitt behandlet eller at mortaliteten er redusert (Burge et al 2008).…”
