Özet
Materials and methodsData from 89 PTE patients whose diagnoses were made by PCTA between January 2006 and May 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. Sixty-eight patients with complete clinical and radiologic records were evaluated. The research was performed according to the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki. Complaints on admission, physical examination findings, risk factors, ABG values, and echocardiographic findings were registered, and PCTA microfilms were copied from a radiologic database. The Wells score was used for the determination of clinical possibilities (Table 1)(7). The Wells score was calculated retrospectively by an investigator who was blind to the PCTA imaging results. Sixty-eight patients were scanned on an eight-channel multislice computed tomography (CT) scanner (Lightspeed Ultra 3X, GE Medical Systems, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA). A contrast-enhanced multislice CT of the pulmonary arteries was performed from the lung apices to the lowest level of the hemidiaphragm in a supine position during suspended inspiration or shallow breathing, depending on the patients’s level of dyspnea. The images were obtained on multidetector CT using
