DOI: 10.1016/j.chest.2017.08.005
Abstract: Background The symptoms of normal pregnancy overlap those of pulmonary embolism (PE). Limited literature suggests that low‐dose perfusion scanning (LDQ), which yields lower maternal–fetal radiation exposure than CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA), performs well in excluding… read more here.
