Abstract
We present a case of massive acute pulmonary embolism where contrast e nhanced helical CT was compared with standard angiography for diagnosi s and for monitoring subsequent response to thrombolytic therapy. Ther e was very close concordance of the findings on these modalities sugge sting that contrast enhanced helical CT may be an easy and reliable al ternative to standard angiography.
