A patient with pathologically proven pulmonary embolism that was diagnosed on computed tomography (CT) is presented. The clot in an artery with a diameter less than 1 cm was clearly demonstrated as was an associated pulmonary infarct, which appeared hyperdense on contrast enhanced scan. The potential of CT to noninvasively demonstrate pulmonary embolism, particularly in smaller arteries, is discussed.
本文介绍了一名经计算机断层扫描（CT）诊断为病理证实的肺栓塞患者。直径小于1cm的动脉内血栓以及相关的肺梗死在CT上清晰可见，肺梗死在增强扫描时表现为高密度。文中讨论了CT无创显示肺栓塞的潜力，尤其是在较小动脉中的显示能力。
