title: Venous thromboembolic disease.
abstract: The advent of spiral CT has encouraged investigation into the diagnosis of venous thromboembolic disease. It has also exposed the limitations of prior methods of investigation and raised questions as to the significance of small pulmonary emboli. This article discusses this new technique, the clinical detection of venous thromboembolic disease and possible current and future strategies in diagnosis.
