  1. 1. On diagnostic procedures in pulmonary embolism

    Författare :Mårten Söderberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :CTPA; D-dimer; deep venous thrombosis; pre-test probability score; pulmonary arteriography; pulmonary embolism; venous thromboembolism; von Willebrand factor antigen; Wells score.;

    Sammanfattning : Pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) are two entities of venous thromboembolism (VTE). PE is a common cause of mortality and morbidity. The symptoms and signs of PE are difficult to interpret, and the diagnosis is difficult to establish. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Current diagnostic aspects on acute and chronic pulmonary embolism : MRI in acute pulmonary embolism, CT in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension and what the radiologists actually know

    Författare :Anna Nordgren Rogberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) is a potentially severe medical condition with blood clots obstructing the pulmonary arterial vasculature. In most cases the APE resolves without any sequelae after anticoagulation therapy. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Clinical applications of MRI in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism

    Författare :Koshiar Medson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a potentially serious medical condition and is the third most common cause of death among cardiovascular diseases. The diagnosis of PE is made with imaging due to its nonspecific clinical signs and symptoms. LÄS MER

  5. 4. MRI sequences for detection of acute pulmonary embolism

    Författare :Roberto Vargas Paris; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : In recent years a range of imaging techniques have emerged to help diagnose patients with suspected acute Pulmonary Embolism (PE). This is particularly useful for those who are contraindicated (renal failure or allergies) to the contrast media that is needed to perform Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA), which would be the usual diagnostic tool of choice.

  7. 5. Pulmonary embolism : validation of diagnostic imaging methods in the clinical setting

    Författare :Tage Nilsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Computed tomography; lung scintigraphy; pulmonary arteriography; pulmonary embolism; D-dimer;

    Sammanfattning : Pulmonary embolism (PE) is an elusive diagnosis and none of the existing imaging modalities have a 100% diagnostic specificity or sensitivity. Pulmonary arteriography (PA) is the most specific test although the improvement of computed tomography technique has made this a commonly used method. Lung scintigraphy often gives ambiguous results.
