Jj. Curtin et al., POSTCONTRAST CT IN THE DIAGNOSIS AND ASSESSMENT OF RESPONSE TO THROMBOLYSIS IN MASSIVE PULMONARY-EMBOLISM, Journal of computer assisted tomography, 18(1), 1994, pp. 133-135
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.
