Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a very common and potentially life-threatening disease. In comparison with CT, the clinical relevance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the assessment of PE is low. Nevertheless, as there are some potential advantages of MRI over CT (e.g. radiation free method, better safety profile of MR contrast media, capability of functional imaging). In certain patient, groups MRI might therefore be considered as a valuable alternative in the assessment of suspected PE. This article reviews the relevant MRI techniques for the evaluation of PE and gives an overview of the current literature for contrast-enhanced MR angiography of PE.
肺栓塞（PE）是一种非常常见且可能危及生命的疾病。与CT相比，磁共振成像（MRI）在评估PE方面的临床相关性较低。然而，由于MRI相对于CT有一些潜在优势（例如无辐射方法、MR造影剂安全性更高、具备功能成像能力）。因此，在某些患者群体中，MRI可能被视为评估疑似PE的一种有价值的替代方法。本文综述了评估PE的相关MRI技术，并概述了目前关于PE对比增强磁共振血管造影的文献。
