Evaluation of diagnostic accuracy of dual-energy computed tomography in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension compared to V/Q-SPECT and pulmonary angiogram

PurposeThe relevance of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) for the detection of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) still lies behind V/Q-SPECT in current clinical guidelines. Therefore, our study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of DECT compared to V/Q-SPECT with invasi...
