Key result
The extent of CT abnormalities in patients with pulmonary fat embolism syndrome correlated positively with partial pressure of arterial oxygen (r = 0.8, p < 0.05).

CT findings in pulmonary fat embolism syndrome include focal consolidation, ground-glass opacities, and nodules that correlate with PaO2, reflecting its distinct pathophysiology.

May link CT extent to hypoxemia in fat embolism syndrome; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Arakawa et al. (2000) conducted a case report in Pulmonary fat embolism syndrome (n=6). Pulmonary fat embolism syndrome was evaluated on Correlation between extent of CT abnormalities and partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2) (r = 0.8, p=< 0.05). The extent of CT abnormalities in patients with pulmonary fat embolism syndrome correlated positively with partial pressure of arterial oxygen (r = 0.8, p < 0.05).
