Venous thromboembolic disease is composed of two disease entities: pulmonary thromboembolism/pulmonary embolism and deep venous thrombosis. Clinical signs and symptoms of venous thromboembolic disease often are nonspecific and, as a result, the diagnosis may be difficult. If left untreated, pulmonary embolism can lead to a potentially fatal outcome. This article focuses on CT angiography as the diagnostic modality for thromboembolic pulmonary embolism and briefly discusses nonthromboembolic pulmonary embolism.
肺血栓栓塞症/肺栓塞和深静脉血栓形成。静脉血栓栓塞性疾病的临床体征和症状往往不具有特异性，因此诊断可能会很困难。如果不进行治疗，肺栓塞可能会导致潜在的致命后果。本文重点介绍CT血管造影作为血栓栓塞性肺栓塞的诊断方法，并简要讨论非血栓栓塞性肺栓塞。
