Implication

Analysis demonstrates significant missed detection of pulmonary emboli in patients using cross-sectional imaging, suggesting limitations in diagnostic approaches.

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of cross-sectional imaging in detecting pulmonary emboli.
Analyzed data from pulmonary angiography of 76 patients.
Investigated the size and location of detected pulmonary emboli.
Emboli were present in segmental and larger arteries in 30% of patients.
23 out of 76 patients had emboli that would be missed by cross-sectional imaging.
