Diagnostic Performance of Contrast Enhanced Pulmonary Computed Tomography Angiography for the Detection of Angioinvasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis in Immunocompromised Patients
Abstract Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is one of the major complications in immunocompromised patients. The mainstay of diagnostic imaging is non-enhanced chest-computed-tomography (CT), for which various non-specific signs for IPA have been described. However, contrast-enhanced CT pulmonar...
