Predictive value of aorta enhancement on computed tomographic pulmonary angiography in pulmonary embolism
The aorta contrast gradient, automatically quantified from CTPA, is a relevant adjunctive predictor for short-term outcomes in PE patients. Long-term outcomes, however, could not be predicted by aorta measurement. This pilot study provides initial insights into predictive value of aorta enhancement, stimulating further exploration with external data.
