The patients referred to nuclear medicine service for PE diagnosis usually had symptoms of dyspnea on exertion and elevated D-dimer levels, which were commonly seen in both PE and COVID-19 infection [[2]]. The PE diagnosis on Q-SPECT/CT images can be made using the previously published "MSKCC Q-SPECT/CT criteria" [[8]], whereas PE is indicated by at least one wedge-shaped peripheral defect estimated as >= 50% of a pulmonary segment without corresponding CT image abnormality and clearly seen in all three orthogonal planes. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
