Diagnostic Performance of a Contrast-Enhanced Ultra-Low-Dose High-Pitch CT Protocol with Reduced Scan Range for Detection of Pulmonary Embolisms

Diagnostic Performance of a Contrast-Enhanced Ultra-Low-Dose High-Pitch CT Protocol with Reduced Scan Range for Detection of Pulmonary Embolisms

(1) Background: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of a simulated ultra-low-dose (ULD), high-pitch computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) protocol with low tube current (mAs) and reduced scan range for detection of pulmonary embolisms (PE). (2) Methods: We retrospectively included 130...
