PURPOSE: To prospectively evaluate pulmonary magnetic (MR) angiography as a diagnostic examination for acute pulmonary embolism (PE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-six consecutive patients (19 women, 17 men; age range, 28-84 years) underwent pulmonary digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and pulmonary MR angiography. MR angiograms were obtained during suspended respiration and the pulmonary arterial phase of gadolinium-based contrast medium injection. A steady-state gradient-recalled-echo sequence with free induction decay sampling was used. DSA studies were interpreted for the presence of acute PE by two independent radiologists; an adjudicator made the final decision on discordant interpretations. RESULTS: By using DSA, a total of 19 acute pulmonary emboli were depicted in 13 patients. Prospectively, 13 of these emboli were depicted by using MR angiography. MR angiography missed six emboli: Four required the DSA adjudicator to make the decision, and one was in a patient whose MR angiogram was acquired during breathing. Four of these six emboli were small subsegmental emboli, and two were segmental. CONCLUSION: Performed without pulmonary arterial catheterization, iodinated contrast media, or ionizing radiation, pulmonary MR angiography had a high accuracy for depicting lobar and segmental emboli, but was unable to depict four of five subsegmental emboli. 相似文献

The aim this study was to evaluate potential additional information of pulmonary angiography in patients with suspected pulmonary
embolism and non-diagnostic lung scan findings. In a series of 150 patients who underwent pulmonary angiography for suspected
venous thromboembolism, the images for potential alternative diagnoses other than pulmonary embolism were evaluated. All patients
had non-diagnostic lung scan findings. Angiography was performed both by conventional and by digital subtraction angiography
techniques. Images were evaluated by at least two experienced readers. Angiograms were scored for both presence or absence
of pulmonary embolism, as well as other diagnoses. Pulmonary embolism was proven in 40 patients (27 %) and excluded in 105
patients (70 %), whereas non-interpretable images were obtained in 5 patients (3 %). A range of alternative diagnoses were
detected by angiography: atelectasis (n = 24), pleural effusion (n = 15), pneumonia (n = 11), emphysematous bullae (n = 8), neoplasm (n = 3), atrial septum defect (n = 2), chronic thromboembolism (n = 1), and other diagnoses (n = 3). Overall, only 54 patients (36 %) had completely normal angiograms. Although pulmonary angiography remains the reference
method for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism, one has to be aware of other, often unexpected, but equally important findings
which could influence the management of the patient. This aspect of pulmonary angiography has been insufficiently emphasized
in the literature.

CT angiography for diagnosis of pulmonary embolism: state of the art 总被引:46,自引:0,他引:46
In daily clinical routine, computed tomography (CT) has practically become the first-line modality for imaging of pulmonary circulation in patients suspected of having pulmonary embolism (PE). However, limitations regarding accurate diagnosis of small peripheral emboli have so far prevented unanimous acceptance of CT as the reference standard for imaging of PE. The development of multi-detector row CT has led to improved visualization of peripheral pulmonary arteries and detection of small emboli. The finding of a small isolated clot at pulmonary CT angiography, however, may be increasingly difficult to correlate with results of other imaging modalities, and the clinical importance of such findings is uncertain. Therefore, the most realistic scenario to measure efficacy of pulmonary CT angiography when PE is suspected may be assessment of patient outcome. Meanwhile, the high negative predictive value of a normal pulmonary CT angiographic study and its association with beneficial patient outcome has been demonstrated. While the introduction of multi-detector row technology has improved CT diagnosis of PE, it has also challenged its users to develop strategies for optimized contrast material delivery, reduction of radiation dose, and management of large-volume data sets created at those examinations. 相似文献

A comparative study of radionuclide scanning (perfusion studies in all 18 patients and ventilation studies in 9) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was performed in 18 patients with suspected pulmonary thromboembolism. In 17 patients good visualization of the arteries was obtained with DSA; 10 of these patients had no pre-existing lung disease, and 7 had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The information provided by DSA in this small group was equal to or better than that of scintigraphy, especially in patients with COPD, and the reliability of DSA was superior to that of radionuclide scintigraphy. Methods for preventing motion artifacts with DSA are also described. 相似文献

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to prospectively determine interobserver agreement between on-call radiology residents and specialists in the interpretation of computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA). METHODS: CTPA examinations obtained between January 2002 and March 2003 were interpreted by a radiology resident on call and by two radiology specialists. Agreement was assessed using percentage of agreement between interpreters and by the kappa coefficient. Sensitivity of residents' interpretations was calculated by relating them to the interpretation of Specialist 1, which served as the gold standard. RESULTS: Of the 81 CTPA examinations evaluated, there was agreement of 93% and 91% for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) and of 97% and 85% for the exclusion of PE with Specialist 1 and 2, respectively. The concordance between residents' interpretations and those of Specialist 1 was very high (kappa=.8), and with those of Specialist 2 was high (kappa=.7). In all cases of agreement between the two specialists, there was complete agreement between the specialists' and the residents' intepretations. CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed good to very good agreement of residents' interpretations with each of the radiology specialists. Therefore, relying on the residents' preliminary interpretations during after-hour calls is reasonable. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Our objective was to asses the interobserver agreement in the detection of pulmonary embolism (PE) with contrast-enhanced helical CT at the main pulmonary, lobar and segmental arteries. A prospective study was carried out in 51 patients with suspected PE. Finally, 29 patients were diagnosed of PE. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: All patients were studied with helical CT. Images (5 mm collimation, 1.5 pitch factor, 3 mm reconstruction interval) were obtained after bolus contrast injection (120 ml, 4 ml/s, 15 s delay time). All cases were blinded and independently interpreted in three ways: two radiologists with different level of expertise and two expert radiologists reading by consensus. Agreement was evaluated by means of the kappa test. RESULTS: Kappa values for thrombi detection expressed an excellent agreement at the main (between 0.802 and 0. 946), lobar (between 0.915 and 0.958) and segmental (between 0.879 and 0.718) levels. For all vessels, mean kappa values were similar and excellent for all three combinations of readers. Arteries with more discrepancies were located mainly at the anterior and posterior areas of the upper lobes. CONCLUSIONS: The high degree of agreement shown in this study indicates that helical CT is a reproducible test in the diagnosis of PE to the segmental level. Isolated readings and levels of expertise do not influence agreement. 相似文献

Pulmonary contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA) is useful for the primary diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE). Many sites have chosen not to use CE-MRA as a first line of diagnostic tool for PE because of the speed and higher efficacy of computerized tomographic angiography (CTA). In this review, we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of CE-MRA and the appropriate imaging scenarios for the primary diagnosis of PE derived from our unique multi-institutional experience in this area. The optimal patient for this test has a low to intermediate suspicion for PE based on clinical decision rules. Patients in extremis are not candidates for this test. Younger women (< 35 years of age) and patients with iodinated contrast allergies are best served by using this modality We discuss the history of the use of this test, recent technical innovations, artifacts, direct and indirect findings for PE, ancillary findings, and the effectiveness (patient outcomes) of CE-MRA for the exclusion of PE. Current outcomes data shows that CE-MRA and NM V/Q scans are effective alternative tests to CTA for the primary diagnosis of PE. 相似文献

肺动脉栓塞(pulmonary embolism,PE)是内源性或外源性栓子阻塞肺动脉及其分支引起的肺循环障碍的临床病理生理综合征,并发肺出血或坏死者称为肺梗死[1]。PE是一种常见的心血管疾病,它具有发病率高,临床表现缺乏特异性,易漏诊及误诊,未经治疗者死亡率高的特点,达20%~30%,及时诊断治疗者死亡率可降至2%~8%[2]。近年来,尤其是多层螺旋CT血管造影(MSCTA)等先进技术的应用使PE的及时诊断成为可能,本文报告23例PE的MSCTPA表现如下。1材料与方法1.1临床材料本组23例中,男14例,女9例,年龄14~82岁,平均61岁。其中10例有下肢深静脉血栓,4例有… 相似文献
