Acute pulmonary embolism: Retrospective cohort study of the predictive value of perfusion defect volume measured with dual-energy CT
American Journal of Roentgenology Oct 17, 2017
Im DJ, et al. - This study was designed to examine dual-energy CT findings predictive of clinical outcome and to determine the incremental risk stratification benefit of dual-energy CT findings compared with CT ventricular diameter ratio in patients with acute pulmonary embolism. Among patients with acute PE, lung perfusion defect volume, compared to ventricular diameter ratio alone, seemed to add no statistically significant benefit for prediction of death of any cause within 30 days or of pulmonary embolismÂrelated death.
