Evaluation of acute pulmonary embolism by sixty-four slice multidetector CT angiography: Correlation between obstruction index, right ventricular dysfunction and clinical presentation

Evaluation of acute pulmonary embolism by sixty-four slice multidetector CT angiography: Correlation between obstruction index, right ventricular dysfunction and clinical presentation

Introduction: MDCT pulmonary angiography is the method of choice for the detection of pulmonary embolism (PE). The severity of PE as estimated by the obstruction index (OI) and right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) can be evaluated with MDCT. Objective: To investigate the correlation between the OI, R...
