The Authors report their experience in the study of pulmonary embolism by xerotomography. The use of tomography for the study of pulmonary vascularization is well known, but this method is by far less frequently used than pulmonary angiography and pulmonary perfusion and ventilation scintigraphy. The enhancement of contrasts and contours and the ample area of exposure are the features which render the images obtained by xerotomography similar to those achieved by pulmonary angiography. Our experience up to the present time allows us to state that xerotomography may represent a valid diagnostic means in cases of acute pulmonary embolism, when scintigraphy is not feasible or following scintigraphy, when doubts regarding the clinical diagnosis still remain. |
