Accuracy and reproducibility of CT right-to-left ventricular diameter measurement in patients with acute pulmonary embolism.

Accuracy and reproducibility of CT right-to-left ventricular diameter measurement in patients with acute pulmonary embolism.

Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction caused by acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is associated with poor short- and long-term prognosis. RV dilatation as a proxy for RV dysfunction can be assessed by calculating the right-to-left ventricle diameter (RV/LV) ratio on standard computed tomography pulmonary a...
