Multi-channel detector CT (MDCT) with thinner collimation may improve the detection of small peripheral PEs causing such abnormalities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Purpose: To investigate parenchymal and pleural findings visualized by contrast-enhanced MDCT in patients with and without PE, and to identify possible predictors of PE.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Material and Methods: 129 patients with clinical signs of PE were included. In all patients an iopromide-enhanced 64-MDCT (64\u00d70.625 mm collimation, pitch 1.375, overlapping reconstruction with a slice thickness of 0.625 mm, increment of overlapping slice reconstruction 0.43) was performed within 24 h after the onset of the symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: MDCT detected PE in 45 of the 129 patients (35%). PE and parenchymal\/pleural findings were localized predominantly within the lower lobes. Wedge-shaped opacities were significantly associated with PE (OR =3.00; 95% confidence interval 1.13\u20137.91). Vascular signs were only visualized in patients with PE. Nodules, consolidations, atelectasis, or effusions were not predictive of PE.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion: The present MDCT study verified that parenchymal and pleural findings can be found in patients with or without PE. Wedge-shaped opacities and vascular signs were significantly associated with PE and therefore can be potential predictors of PE.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3109\/02841851.2010.492238","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,8,13]],"date-time":"2010-08-13T10:28:38Z","timestamp":1281695318000},"page":"775-781","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Parenchymal and pleural findings in pulmonary embolism visualized by multi-channel detector computed tomography"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"Alexander","family":"Pfeil","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine III, Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena, Jena"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Schmidt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Institute of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena, Jena"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Regina","family":"Hermann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine III, Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena, Jena"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joachim","family":"B\u00f6ttcher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Institute of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, SRH Waldklinikum Gera, Gera, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gunter","family":"Wolf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine III, Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena, Jena"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"Hansch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Institute of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena, Jena"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,1]]},"container-title":["Acta Radiologica"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.3109\/02841851.2010.492238","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.3109\/02841851.2010.492238","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T13:57:46Z","timestamp":1777384666000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.3109\/02841851.2010.492238"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2010,9]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"7","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2010,9]]}},"alternative-id":["10.3109\/02841851.2010.492238"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3109\/02841851.2010.492238","relation":{},"ISSN":["0284-1851","1600-0455"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0284-1851","type":"print"},{"value":"1600-0455","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2010,9]]}}}
