Extra-thoracic findings on the venous phase of combined computed tomographic venography and pulmonary angiography

Clin Radiol. 2000 Mar;55(3):177-81. doi: 10.1053/crad.1999.0370.

Abstract

A growing consensus is that pulmonary embolism and thrombosis represent different aspects of the same disease, and a single study that accurately defines both pulmonary emboli and deep venous thrombosis would be a desirable examination. The purpose of this pictorial review is to demonstrate the extra-thoracic findings on the venous phase of such a study, which combines computed tomographic venography and pulmonary angiography.
