摘要：

The clinical diagnosis of pulmonary embolism remains an important challenge despite the multitude of imaging modalities and variety of diagnostic schemes available. Contrast-enhanced helical CT has recently gained favor as an alternative primary imaging modality in the noninvasive diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. This essay reviews the role of helical CT in diagnostic work-up for pulmonary embolism with special emphasis on scan interpretation and diagnostic pitfalls.
