Abstract:
Objective To study the diagnostic value of spiral CT pulmonary angiography(SCTPA) for pulmonary embolism(PE).Methods SCTPA scans were performed in 25 patients with PE,the contrast-enhanced SCT scans of the pulmonary arteries were performed,MPR,MIP and SSD were performed simultaneously.Results The 29 SCTPA scans were performed in 25 patients, including the central type in 23 cases(92%) and the peripheral type in 2 cases(8%).The rates of the main,the sinistral and dextral,the middle lobular,the lobular and the lingular pulmonary artery displayed were 100%,the rates of the segmental pulmonary artery displayed were 97.77% and the rates of the subsegmental pulmonary artery displayed were 68.00%.The lobular and segmental pulmonary artery were mainly embolized,the rates of PE were between 46.58% and 75.00%.Conclusion SCTPA has great value in earlier and clear and definite diagnosis of PE.
