DECT plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and risk stratification of PE, providing valuable functional information for patients.
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a potentially fatal disease if the diagnosis or treatment is delayed. Currently, multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is considered the standard imaging method for diagnosing PE. Dual-energy CT (DECT) has the advantages of MDCT and can provide functional information for patients with PE. The aim of this review is to present the clinical of DECT in on the and risk stratification of PE.
