A CT pulmonary angiography was performed to evaluate a suspected pulmonary embolism.

A 58-year-old female patient with dyspnea, deep vein thrombosis and signs of right heart strain in echocardiography, was referred to CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE). CTPA was conducted in Dual Source high-pitch mode without the use of a breathing command and with only 40 ml of contrast medium.

The outcomes by Siemens Healthineers customers described herein are based on results that were achieved in the customer’s unique setting. Since there is no “typical” hospital and many variables exist (e.g., hospital size, case mix, level of IT adoption) there can be no guarantee that other customers will achieve the same results.
