Difference in interpretation of computed tomography pulmonary angiography diagnosis of subsegmental thrombosis in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism

The introduction of computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) as a diagnostic modality to diagnose pulmonary embolism (PE) has led to a significant increase in the incidence of PE diagnosis. Multidetector CTPA has improved the sensitivity for diagnosis of PE, allowing better visualization of segmental and subsegmental pulmonary arteries [1Rathbun S.W. Raskob G. Whitsett T.L.
