Extra-thoracic findings on the venous phase of combined computed tomographic venography and pulmonary angiography.
A growing consensus is that pulmonary embolism and thrombosis represent different aspects of the same disease, and a single study that accurately defines both pulmonary emboli and deep venous thrombosis would be a desirable examination. The purpose of this pictorial review is to demonstrate the extra-thoracic findings on the venous phase of such a study, which combines computed tomographic venography and pulmonary angiography.
