HEART VESSELS. Acute or chronic pulmonary embolism: Dual-layer dual-energy computed tomography

Creators

Description

Distinguishing acute pulmonary embolism from chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) using the morphological image data obtained using computed tomography of the pulmonary arteries (CTPA) is difficult. A team of researchers from the University of Cologne is now investigating whether this can be achieved better using dual-layer dual-energy CT (dlDECT).

Abstract (German)

Die Unterscheidung einer akuten Lungenembolie von einer chronischen thromboembolischen pulmonalen Hypertonie (CTEPH) anhand der mittels Computertomografie der Pulmonalarterien (CTPA) gewonnenen morphologischen Bilddaten ist schwierig. Ein Forscherteam von der Universität Köln ging nun der Frage nach, ob dies mittels Dual-Layer-Dual-Energy-CT (dlDECT) besser gelingt. (© Thieme. All rights reserved)
