Prognostic Role of Ct Pulmonary Angiography in Acute Pulmonary Embolism

Abstract

Background: A growing number of studies in the last few years have searched for a potential prognostic role of MDCT to improve PE risk stratification. These studies were accompanied by puzzling details and heterogeneous results. Certain CT parameters have been nominated for this purpose. RV/LV ratio and arterial obstruction index were the most extensively studied parameters.
