Role of upfront CT pulmonary angiography at admission in COVID-19 patients

• Current guidelines recommend the use of unenhanced chest CT as first-line imaging in patients suspected of COVID-19 pneumonia. • In unselected COVID-19 patients, the prevalence of PE at baseline is no different from the one in COVID-19 negative patients. • There is no clear benefit to routinely pe...
