Angiography of pulmonary emboli: digital studies and balloon-occlusion cineangiography. 1984

The value of digital pulmonary arteriography and balloon-occlusion cineangiography was investigated in 118 selected patients. In one series of 40 patients, digital pulmonary arteriography correctly identified pulmonary emboli in 20 (75%) of 26 positive examinations when interpretation was confined to the first three divisions of the pulmonary artery. In a second series of 78 patients with peripheral radionuclide perfusion scan defects, 40 of whom had pulmonary emboli, adjunctive balloon-occlusion cineangiography demonstrated emboli in four patients not seen on standard selective catheter pulmonary magnification studies with cut films. These two procedures (i.e., digital pulmonary arteriography and balloon-occlusion cineangiography) are important adjuncts to radionuclide perfusion scans and selective catheter pulmonary arteriography in the evaluation of patients with pulmonary emboli.

D011655 Pulmonary Embolism Blocking of the PULMONARY ARTERY or one of its branches by an EMBOLUS. Pulmonary Thromboembolism,Thromboembolism, Pulmonary,Embolism, Pulmonary,Embolisms, Pulmonary,Pulmonary Embolisms,Pulmonary Thromboembolisms,Thromboembolisms, Pulmonary
D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph. Gamma Camera Imaging,Radioisotope Scanning,Scanning, Radioisotope,Scintigraphy,Scintiphotography,Imaging, Gamma Camera,Imaging, Radionuclide
D002404 Catheterization Use or insertion of a tubular device into a duct, blood vessel, hollow organ, or body cavity for injecting or withdrawing fluids for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. It differs from INTUBATION in that the tube here is used to restore or maintain patency in obstructions. Cannulation,Cannulations,Catheterizations

D013382 Subtraction Technique Combination or superimposition of two images for demonstrating differences between them (e.g., radiograph with contrast vs. one without, radionuclide images using different radionuclides, radiograph vs. radionuclide image) and in the preparation of audiovisual materials (e.g., offsetting identical images, coloring of vessels in angiograms).
