Incidental pulmonary emboli in stage IV melanoma patients: Prevalence in CT staging examinations and improved detection with vessel reconstructions based on dual energy CT
OBJECTIVES: Malignancy is the strongest predictor for venous thromboembolism. Dual energy CT (DECT) can support assessment of pulmonary emboli (PE) by providing vessel reconstructions (DECT-VR) and highlighting thrombi. Purpose was to determine prevalence and risk factors of PE in staging examinatio...
