The presence of high-density emboli in the pulmonary artery on non-enhanced computed tomography (CT) has high diagnostic performance for acute central pulmonary thromboembolism. Acute pulmonary thromboembolism is usually diagnosed by contrast-enhanced CT. However, it may be possible to achieve early diagnosis by identifying characteristic findings on non-enhanced CT.
非增强计算机断层扫描(CT)显示肺动脉内存在高密度栓子对急性中心型肺血栓栓塞症具有较高的诊断效能。急性肺血栓栓塞症通常通过增强CT进行诊断。然而,通过识别非增强CT上的特征性表现有可能实现早期诊断。
