Incidental PE  |
“ This study shows that missed PE can occur on abdominal CT. It is recommended that interpretation include a careful search of the lower pulmonary arterial vasculature on contrast-enhanced abdominal CT scans.” Missed Pulmonary Embolism on Abdominal CT Lim KY, Kligerman SJ, Lin CT, White CS AJR 2014; 202:738-743 |
“ The challenge in identifying PE is clearly greater on abdominal CT than on chest CT. In addition to the multiple pitfalls described already, the lungs are typically not a primary target of abdominal CT interpretation, and only a limited part of the pulmonary anatomy is included.” Missed Pulmonary Embolism on Abdominal CT Lim KY, Kligerman SJ, Lin CT, White CS AJR 2014; 202:738-743 |
