CTICasesEarly Timing on PE Study
Imaging findings
A patient was brought in after an outside study was negative for PE. A repeat study with appropriate delayed timing clearly demonstrated an aortic dissection flap.
Key takeaways
Protocols should prioritize timing scans off the aorta rather than the pulmonary artery to ensure adequate contrast in the left heart and avoid missing critical diagnoses like dissections.
