CTPA use increased markedly, without expected decreased yield. Increased PE diagnosis rates suggest maintained diagnostic discrimination. Large vessel PE proportions reduced, but small PE rates didn't increase significantly. Younger women seem over-investigated with low yield (5.6%) versus all other groups.
