ReviewNegative Computed Tomography for Acute Pulmonary Embolism: Important Differential Diagnosis Considerations for Acute Dyspnea.
Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is the principal means of evaluating dyspnea in the emergency department. As its use has increased, the number of studies positive for pulmonary embolism (PE) has decreased to less than 20%. ⋯ Airway and obstructive lung disease may be detected on CTPA. Pleural and pericardial disease may also explain the dyspnea, but more detailed evaluation of the serosal surfaces may be limited on the arterial phase of a CTPA.

[ASSESSMENT OF EXTRAVASCULAR LUNG WATER BY QUANTITATIVE COMPUTER IMAGE ANALYSIS IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME].
To evaluate the possibility of quantitative computed tomography (CT) of the lungs in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) for assessment of the severity of the condition and the effectiveness of treatment. ⋯ Quantitative analysis of CT reveals changes in the mass and volume of the lungs and can be used to diagnose and evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment. Pulmonary weight calculated by CT correlates with EVLW determined by TTD.
