Pulmonary embolism severity scoring using multislice CT pulmonary angiography in correlation with echocardiographic data and patient’s outcome

Noha Yousef El Shinawy;

Abstract


T-pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is routinely performed in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE) and a positive relationship between Qanadli score (Q-score) and RV dysfunction enables the clinicians in early diagnosis and management of RV-dysfunction on the basis of this single imaging modality. Our study was carried on 24 patients with suspected acute PE. This study aimed to investigate the correlation of computerized tomography pulmonary angiography-based parameters as pulmonary artery obstruction index (PAOI) which was calculated according to Qanadli score, pulmonary artery diameter as well as right ventricular diameters for pulmonary embolism (PE) risk evaluation and prediction of mortality and intensive care unit (ICU) requirement.
