Abstract
The educational objectives for this self-assessment module on imaging of pulmonary embolism are for the participant to exercise, self-assess, and improve his or her understanding of the evaluation of patients with suspected pulmonary embolism using CT angiography; gain familiarity with nonembolic conditions that may be found in patients who are studied with CT angiography for suspected pulmonary embolism; and gain familiarity with the phenomenon of paradoxical embolism, its manifestations on CT angiography, and its radiologic differential diagnosis.
