The cost-effectiveness of various diagnostic strategies in patients with clinically suspected pulmonary embolism (PE) was analysed using a modelling approach. In 451 consecutive patients with clinically suspected PE data on the performance of diagnostic tests were collected prospectively in two larg
The diagnosis of pulmonary embolism is challenging because the signs and symptoms are nonspecific, the findings on ventilation-perfusion lung scans are often nondiagnostic, and pulmonary angiography, although definitive, is not always available. We previously reported that serial noninvasive leg tes
Two radiopharmaceuticals, 99mTc-DTPA (D) and 99mTc-rhenium sulfur (R), were evaluated with a nebulizer delivering submicronic particles. Seventy-seven patients were examined (42 D, 35 R). For all patients, the examination began with a ventilation study. Immediately after the last ventilation view, 9
