Electron density images provide clear identification of thrombi, improving visualization during CT scans.
The case involved a 77-year-old man diagnosed with pulmonary embolism, highlighting clinical implications.
The use of dual-source CT allowed for effective imaging without the need for contrast agents, offering safety benefits.
Findings suggest non-contrast imaging options may be crucial for patients with contraindications for traditional CT angiography.
