Imaging of Acute Pulmonary Embolism: An Update

Kiran Batra et al. Radiol Clin North Am. 2025 Mar.

Abstract

Imaging is essential in the evaluation and management of acute pulmonary embolism. Advances in multi-energy CT including dual-energy CT and photon-counting CT have allowed faster scans with lower radiation dose and optimal quality. Artificial intelligence has a potential role in triaging potentially positive examinations and could serve as a second reader.
